So yesterday, myself (Sean) and a slew of other AOC riders participated in Critical Mass, a randomly-organized mass ride through the city of Vancouver. If you've never been, Critical Mass is on the last Friday of every month, and meets 5:30 at the art gallery. Show up with a bike.

Hey Everyone! So last night we had our final general meeting before we actually jump on our bikes and head out on this crazy trip. I'm REALLY excited to just get out there and ride, but there's SO much going on before we leave! The crew was out in full effect, minas a few folks from Kelowna who arriving in a weeks time.

The ride up was a great time to relax and enjoy a 3 hour break - most of us have been working on the ride non-stop :). We drove quickly.
