Gentle June Critical Mass

The afternoon rain kept this a small ride, along with many regulars having gone to Glastonbury or away on holiday.



However, a reasonable sized crowd formed



with one special guest...



We rode down the hill from Albert Square onto Deansgate



then back up market street and onto Cross Street and back through Albert Square.



Then onto Fountain Street



where the narrow cycle lanes were superfluous



and into the Northern Quarter.





The penny farthing was back this month.



We then dropped down London Road





and onto Grosvenor Street.



and finally into Manchester Science Park



finishing at the Old Abbey Pub which had been warned of our arrival and had put on food for the riders. The ride kept the pace fairly slow and I kept the music quite slow and gentle to fit the mood.
