It's supposed to be nice....who's all gonna make it?

Maybe us Northsiders could meet up around 4:30/5 ish, and make the trip down together????

I got both work (but I don't live all that far from downtown) and like 165, I'm not a big fan of the mass either. It's cool and all but sometimes really stupid "incidents" happen which frankly give the whole idea a bad name. I suppose I have a love/hate relationship with it.

I'd like to go to one in Socal just to see what it's about, and get a feeling for it. Before I poo poo it. But it seems that CM's are afraid of San Diego, or Los Angeles.

I don't do the mass. I'm a grouchy bastard and there're always all these PEOPLE at the mass. People are lame.

you'll have to irritate and cause drivers to have even more hate in their bones for us without me.

i do support your right to mass however.

I'm actually preparing for a trip, or I would have some interest, as long as it wasn't with critical mass. I spoke to the Park Tool guy, and he said something about there being some bike art show after the mass thing.

I'm not down with mass either. Too much "stand-up sit-down stand-up sit-down," and the praying thing gets way boring. However, the wine and God-crackers are nice.

It's not wine- it's Jesus Juice... just ask Michael Jackson!

Sorry Crustedfish, we're a grumpy lot. However, that reminds me of this: http://bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=40014

So when? Where? 165, I'm looking in your direction...(or we could sort it out together).

Have a smaller ride with the Chicago folks.
