[read more...]Best group ride ever...
Submitted by ifocusatinfinity on Sun, 2009-09-27 20:52.Report from the September, 2009 Ride:
This months ride was excellent, if I don't say so myself. I have done critical mass and other group rides in other cities, but this was my first in Chicago. Way to go guys, it was definitely the most fun I've had in a long time, and I can't wait for next month.
In addition to being buckets 'o fun (and thankfully not buckets 'o rain), it also made for a fitting last ride on my beloved bike, which was stolen from me the next morning. The amount of fun I had on it the night before definitely softened the blow.
Ride safe guys, and support your local bike lock company.

If there's one thing I like more than leading a Critical Mass ride, it's NOT leading a Critical Mass ride ;)
Story in work, was magical.
Shoutouts to a dozen dozen, it's a privilege to know you.
Wow - in spite of the weather you jammed.
