We had 17! Need to figure out the best place to post great photos and the film clip here.

Todd brought a wonderful mix of valentine and horror music, and all brought super good cheer to group and the neighborhoods!

Big thanks to all!!

in the lessons learned dept: Riders were very patient with awkward start-out involving getting stuck crossing the massive Ashland/Peterson highway intersection in stages - we ended up there due to last-minute change and poor planning from moi. Some curb and sidewalk unfairness to trailor and talls (apologies!). AND prematurely/indecisively turned us off onto Foster, thinking I had missed the turn I was looking for, causing messy confusion and cutting off some of the ride.

Anybody have news of the art show for those of us who did not make it down there?

Here's the map of the route from last night:

North Side Critical Mass Map

It was a longer route than I thought! Good times had by all.

Wow, gotta love Google - just got an app for my Android phone that will create a map of our route via GPS as we ride it. :) I'll post it up here when we're done and we can start an archive of past rides.

Yes! From Rachel on 2/2:

"OK! The (far) North Side Critical Mass will meet the 2nd Friday of each month at the Lincoln Statue at Clark and Thorndale at 6:30, and will depart at 7:00.

February's theme is Friday the 13th (Rocky?) Horror Valentine!

So is this happenin?

Western boundary O'Hare. Some rides could take us way west, others north to Evanston, others south to head us toward....bike art show! Maybe the northside mass will break down into neighborhood ones like Pilsen's - Edgewater mass anyone? Northwest and Northeast mass?

No western boundary that I know of. But I do think we should mix and change the meeting place for the 2nd Friday North Side Critical Mass ride each month.

Any suggestions for March? Clank and Thorndale is too far east, in my opinion, to be inclusive of the "north side"
Comment by Aaron Bussey on February 11, 2009 at 2:27pm
is there a western boundary since I am near Kedzie? Go North Side - just don't tell anyone when I move south of Irving Park...shhh
