Apparently, I have no idea what you look like… heh.
I will NOT miss the next one. How many participants this ride?
I heard a count of 99 at one point
The whole route was a little over 17 miles, even longer for people who also rode to and from Lawton park.
I love the Wiki entry:
Critical Mass is an event typically held on the last Friday of every month in cities around the world where a bunch of self-righteous, elitist asshole bicyclists take to the streets en masse and illegally block traffic.
