Sweet September Critical Mass

With the nights drawing in rapidly, this month's ride rolled out at sunset.



We turned south down Bridge Street heading into Salford.



For some reason there were a number of impatient motorbike riders this month, pushing round the ride



Then along Chapel Street



and back up Victoria Bridge Street returning to Manchester.



By this time some of the riders were warming to the music. I was riding the only sound system this time. Two other regular riders had left theirs at home. There was a really good mix of people this month and a very gentle atmosphere.



After sitting in the traffic jams on Deansgate it was back for a second pass through Albert Square



and into the roadworks on Portland Street where the potholes are dreadful.



After a quick run through the Northern Quarter and an about turn in Back Turner Street, it was across the tram tracks and down Shude Hill



and carefully along Corporation Street.



Then back past the Cathedral



before a second run down Deansgate



and on to Castlefield Arena to meet up with the Fire Jam.
