2009 Events

05/29
A new group is born?
Garrett flies handless down a hill in the Uplands, smokes Fraser, splats on pavement. In his split-second thinking, Garrett threw his camera safely onto the grass and somehow managed to walk away with only a scraped elbow and hip.

06/26
Twice as many people made it out this month! No crashes, but Neal's bike took a decent bite out of his leg. The ride got critical-er at the Last Asquith Party. (sadface)

07/31
Great turnout... about 40+ of us at the start of the ride. The ride ended at the Bung BBQ, which was most civilized and quaint. Theme: the obliteration of memory.

08/28
Twenty strong. Despite no planned after-party, many massers ended up at the same shaker in Oak Bay. Divine intervention?? Probably.

09/25
There were many new faces this month — we totaled about 35 in all. While we started off with several cheers from onlookers, the ire of motorists was at a high. We were honked and screamed at many times, and after several calls were apparently made to police, a cruiser stopped to check on the situation. Thankfully the cop was a cyclist. He said he supports our efforts!

10/30
Critical Mass was small on account of rain, but we got out and contributed to chaos of olympic torches, protestors, and the legion of police forces. Later, we found a nice pagoda out of the wet.

11/27
Criticaler Mass? Seven cyclists, three lanes of traffic. No problem.

12/25
Okay fine, we'll sit this one out.
