February Ride Report and Upcomming Events

Great to see so many new faces at the February Mass. As soon as the weather gets better, numbers will be huge. We had to take a different route from the Chinese arch, due to the roadworks, but this opened up a view of the cobbled back streets, before we got onto our usual jaunts.
Numbers were good this month, and the mass had real presence. The pub was also great as well. Next month I think we're going to try the Cain's Brewery Tap. It's got ample bike parking, lots of outdoor seating and of course, we'll be supporting our local brewery.


Film Night - Friday 13th March
After March Critical Mass there's a film showing of the Flying Scotsman. A great film following the career of Scottish Amateur Track cyclist Graeme Obree, from being broke and losing his bike shop, to building a bike of his own design, using low-tech materials to break cycling's greatest record. Obree's DIY methods make him unfavourable with cycling's governing body and he has to fight the officials on and off the track, whilst dealing with his own personal problems and coping with his incredible rise in popularity.




It will be on at the Liverpool Social Centre, 96 Bold Street (underneath News from Nowhere book shop) from 7:30pm. Hot Food and Drinks will be available as well, perhaps some popcorn if we're lucky.
