Critical Mass London: last friday of the month South Bank by National Theatre, 6.30pm

Gah, missed them. Anyone know where it went?

Unpleasant times were had it seems.

we went on the westway for a bit apart from^ it was pretty good

skully, sorry i didn't look at this before i went - mass was fantastic, one of the best i've been on (i haven't been in a while, tho). we went over the bridge and then straight up to euston, turned left and headed all the way to paddington, through both the underpass and the overpass. fantastic! then, lots of little streets down through queensway, back along hyde park to marble arch, down to victoria and around to parliament square. obligatory circling around the green (actually in the green!) by some, while the rest hung out for a little while. from there, up to trafalgar square, again a bit of a stop, starting to get smaller, up tottenham court road, then hung a right over towards gower street/bloomsbury again - but i drifted off at this point as it was about half nine and i needed to get food.

ps, i missed the madness above - certainly never saw anything like that... i suspect it was because it was a pretty big mass and i think we actually probably got split into several smaller groups...

Again, may need a phone number for friday if I have to be a bit late... if anyone can oblige I'd appreciate it. I have an idea that a non-forum pal should be there, but just in case he doesn't answer ...

Great CM last night. Good to see one or two fixieskiddas.

Some silly routefinding after battersea park, was hoping we'd head across the south side along the river, then the longboard steerers took us back towards Chelsea again.

I had lots of fun too. Nice turnout. Lovely weather and atmosphere. Fun times.

It is a wonder that this thing is still going. It started way back in May 1995. It was an offshoot of the protest group Reclaim the Streets. I have been on a few of these bike rides which are always chaotic. Incidently one of its founders Jim Sutton turned out to be an undercover cop see this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd2UJJoZWCA

"Broadsword calling Danny Boy..."

So anyone up for it this month?
I just finished my MSc thesis so I will be celebrating big time

i think you'll find a lot of people joining this one and heading the convoy out east

Is there that much dissatification with the Olympics? I'm just up for a ride and a drink

hey , never been to a critical mass where do they normally end up finishing ?

the end is wherever you stop

no further details are available

A group of us usually meet up at the Calthorpe on Grays Inn Road after the Mass from around 9:00

Critical Mass is such a great way to play in the city, and actually see some of it from a bike without rushing past. Tonight will be great. London's pretty bonkers this week! Tempted to stay home rather than go where I'm meant to be today to ride. Hmmmm.

No traffic today whatsoever on my commute through east.. Ghost town!

Looking forward to CM. Usual leaving time?

I'm going earlyish just in case.

Great see you there

there is where in particular?

South bank

lol, thanks..
