Hello, I have joined here. I don't know how I will do here... Anyway, I will read some discussions and will be back here again. Anyway, I have two little daughters. I love to cycle with them by my bicycle. Thank you. See you later...

West?  How about Mozart Park, 3900 W. Armitage?  I can come up with a route before then.  Not sure how good the playground is but there's lots of open space there.

Our next Palmer Square ride is May 14th. A couple of folks had mentioned venturing west for this ride. Any route or destination ideas?

Thank you, thank you, thank you Andrew! I'll be emailing you before the first ride for tips on how to start my GPS pre-ride and have MassUp track the ride in the progress. I was racking my brain just plugging in the info, so I'll definitely need a primer!

I added Kidical Mass at http://MassUp.us/kid

(Actually Ash added it, I finished and activated)

That automatically pulled in Facebook comments, and my postings from April 2nd.  I also already marked Gin (and whoever "Kid" is) as admins, and could add others, but with it already automatically feeding from Facebook, you could just leave it run as it, no admin necessary.

http://MassUp.us/-kid is a shortcut to here (TCL's kidical group) suitable for terse print use.

Post to kid@massup.us

On ride day it'll appear on front page.

I also archived the Clarendon ride for future reuse.

I'd original thought Kidical should simply use the "now" (catch-all) channel, but sure, let's give it its own.

The whole feature set is now at your disposal.  Of particular interest to this group perhaps, is the ability to upload (email) photos live (including where taken if your phone does that).

Basics on use at http://massup.us/use

Photos from today's ride have been uploaded to our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ChicagoKidicalMass

I'll try to add a few to the Chainlink in a couple minutes.

May 20th is a CPS off day for us so we are definitely flexible. That's about my cap for cycling distance so some time spent at the event and a hearty post ride snack would certainly be in order. Maybe we can end the ride at George's ice cream and then head over to the museum?

Sorry another note the Tillie ride day of activities is on Friday the 20th. _Tillie the Terrible Swede_ is a terrific book about Tillie Anderson.
Comment by jennifer james on April 7, 2011 at 12:06pm
oops that's not June 4th it's May 20th!
Comment by jennifer james on April 7, 2011 at 12:06pm

Hey-

I stopped in at the Swedish American Museum and on June 4th they are doing a full day of activities around Tillie Anderson  an amazing woman road racer from about 1886 to ten years later. They would love it if we could do a ride or workshop with them that day. The author of the book Tille The Terrible Swede is going to ride her bike from Grand Rapids to be at the museum that day. Sounds like a great opportunity! Anyone want to try and put something together?? J.
