July 28 Mass

This is planned for July. I'm putting the theme out there to be non-elitist. And also because nothing is set in stone and to invite others to help plan the ride. Some want to make the Gateway project Highway opposition a theme too, which is important.

"Crit-licle Peace Bike Ride Crid-ler Mass" says Bruce's four-year old
daughter.

~bruce says:
I want to have a kinder-mass splinter group some time that makes a
play-area for the kids before we start (a bike fell on my daughter
right after we arrived today--sucked), and bails on the ride early if
it gets kinda long, and goes to a park or the beach. We'll all have
snacks to share, etc. I'd love to tell where we're going and maybe
the "adult" ride could join us later?

Anybody else up for that as part of the July-Pride-Ride?
