Marvellous May Critical Mass

You can feel it in the air as the ride gather, and this was always going to be a good ride.



We had a total of four sound systems, which felt strange as I had been the only one through most of the winter. Though I had one speaker fail part way through the ride :(







We had skateboards as well today.



Along with a very diverse mix of riders, maybe near a balance of male & female.



Pete rode the Love Your Bike Ad-bike



And there were many really cool bikes!

It was a pretty big turnout. It felt like 200 with all the big machines and sound systems but was probably more like 170.



All in all a corker of a ride,



with many of the great characters of Manchester's cycling scene taking part.

And Nina enjoyed her first Critical Mass for ages.

Pete & me dropped out as the ride headed south towards the party at Subrosa.
