Where? Did the police finish it and tell you to disperse at the end? (When a friend of mine moved to Berlin years ago he was shocked to find that Critical Mass there was registered as an official demonstration with all the rules and regulations being adhered to.)

Bielefeld. I believe it was organised by Radentscheid or something.
Police weren’t anywhere to be seen. There was a kinda procession and a few roads blocked at the start, and after that it was mostly quite sympathetic from car drivers (whilst riding through to the satellite towns and villages). Only one old man got super nasty, until he was somewhat surrounded by younger, fitter men. At that point his wife hit him on the arm to stop.
Around 1am the majority had already cleared off, so I think only a small core continued to ride through the night.

I was so jealous to miss this that I took part in a German equivalent of Critical Mass last night. Was painfully slow, but a great 3 hours night riding. It was spur of the moment and by 1am I was too tired and hungry to do the second lap til 5am. Still. Night riding in the countryside, nippy as fuck.
