The Chainlink

It is time this Saturday for the Midnight Marauders 4th annual Subterranean Ride. This has been the most popular ride we have put on since its inception. Basically it is a tour of the underground, and sub street level roads, oddities, attractions, and distractions in the down town area. For first timers, it will be a chance to see places that you probably never would, and for veterans, yet another chance to figure out “Where the hell did we go?” There will be some exciting new twists this year if we can pull them off, so even veterans will experience some new things.

For those unaware, there is a labyrinth of streets, tunnels and service roads under the city that only people that work there normally see, but this month Marauders get too as well.

We will meet at the traditional location, the Billy Goat Tavern, 430 N. Michigan Av(lowerlevel), at 11pm, August the 21st. It is located at the intersection of Hubbard, and Lower Michigan Av., if you cant find it go downstairs. There will be a couple rougher sections on the ride, but any serviceable bike should work.

This is not a trailer friendly ride, unless it is a single wheel jobbie.

What passes for "cameras" these days kinda makes me chuckle, considering the hoops and hurdles I'm dealing with right now with big Sony studio cams for a broadcast that no one will be watching.

These GoPro cameras were $99 at Costco not long ago. I was very tempted but I didn't get one, I already have many cameras I don't use.

The GoPro Hero HD is exactly what I have. $300 is a steal considering it's 1080p and pretty much bomb proof. In the daytime it's amazing, night time is not as good obviously but no camcorder is great without a proper light source. I also got some shots with my iPhone 4 which I'm gonna splice in. I was going to output the video a 720P anyway, 1080p is too large a file size for youtube.
its been a long time since the my first critical mass and other bicycle demonstrations, and this ride made that feeling novel again. interrresting! and wow, no one got hurt.
Rumbling around in the bowels of the metropolis - what an excellent adventure. I think I got some insight into the mind of a herd animal. Thanks to Martin and crew for the great tour with some great nighttime views of our beautiful city. Thanks to Joe from Hyde Park for beverage sharing.
