February Manchester Critical Mass

It was a dry but chilly evening. The ride got off to a prompt start as I don't think anyone fancied hanging around in the cold wind.



There was a good crowd, but not a large ride, so with three sound systems which couldn't get very far apart we made quite a racket.



We followed the usual route out through Albert Square



and soon crossed Market Street heading for the Northern Quarter.



Several passers by were seen taking video or photos.



With Portland Street blocked we dropped down London Road



and along Grosvenor Street where the drivers stuck in traffic can watch TV...



We then re-entred the city centre along Oxford Road



taking all lanes



then into Castlfield



ending at the Castlefield Arena to join the Fire Jam.



Featuring fire and



spectacular LED displays.
