I updated the group description and header with info about the rides and upcoming ride listings.

I took the liberty of listing the Palmer square ride as a monthly event which I believe is the current intention. Let me know ASAP if I should change the listing.

Riders returning to starting point

Do we have any volunteers to be the ride leader next Saturday? I can do it, but I'd prefer to ride in the middle of the pack.

It would also be good to have a volunteer for ride sweep.

Here's what I'm thinking for a route April 17th:
I'm going to test ride it tomorrow evening to check pavement and total distance. Any thoughts about this route or suggestions for other routes?

From the park in Lincoln square go SE on Lincoln.
Turn right going W on Eastwood.
Turn right going N on Rockwell.
Turn left going W on Argyle.
Turn right going N on North Shore Channel Trail through River park.
Stop in playground at Catalpa for a short break if needed (or as photo op)
Go back south on North Shore Channel Trail
Exit park at Winona going S on Francisco
Jog left going E on Lawrence
Right going SE on N Virginia
Left going E on Leland
Left on Lincoln

Woo! WOO!

What a great ride! I was blown away by the turnout and the enthusiasm. I've put in a new group photo which only captured a fraction of the riders. I'll go through the rest of my photos and post more later.

Thanks so much to everyone who stepped up and made this such a fun day!

I put out a calendar event for the April 10 Kidical Mass, but I only have 11 "friends" that I can invite to this event. So if you get the invitation please do pass it on to your friends to get the word out.
