CCM Halloween Ride

Download the Map

Okay so above is the map for tonight's "Ring of Fire" ride. Thanks Andrew for all the help!
WE NEED "ROUTE LEADERS!" So if you want to be in the front, be the center of attention and would like to direct traffic please contact me at spencer@uglatto.com or call 1-312-725-6661. You'll get a lamented flyer out of the deal!

If you have a sound bike and want to sync soundtracks you can download the Best Damned Halloween Mixtape Sides A and B, here and here.
The Yes Men! are reported to bring their survival ball to Daley Plaza around 5:30 and play with us until we leave. It's possible they have something clever in store for us because they are supposed to ride off with their ball so I think this silly thing has wheels! Maybe we can convince them to join us on the first leg of the trip.
Alex Wilson of West Town Bikes fame is running a "Momentum Mori" which is a memorial ride for the cyclists who have been killed around the city. Inspired by the Ghost Bikes. Come join us for the procession this Friday, October 30th. They will meet at the Northwest corner of Clark and Randolph at 5:00pm to assemble for the ride. Dress in all white, as glammed up or ghouled out as you would like.

I think it was the ratio for one thing; they over-copped us. Many observed this immediately on arrival, and Susan took a good picture of the baffling wall of bike cops on the South edge way early. We had multi-thousand person masses this year, with like 4 nice bike cops. This mass was under a thousand, and had at least a dozen, maybe even 16. It was silly. I'd guess their monitoring of our pre-chatter got them worried about drinking. (Anyone got a guess on booze busts?) On top of that, I think we especially get trouble from escorts new to the mass, who don't know what to let slide. Then you became a pet target... Do you know the details on outdoor audio legality? Maybe mount a decibel meter.

It could also be that Todd was playing the mixtape which isn't exactly family friendly nor everyone's preferred type of Music. You've got a bunch of Journey fans listening to Electro Juke with authority.

yea I did notice the huge amount of cops at the plaza. It always amazes me the idiots that get busted drinking at the plaza drinking. You got to wait till the ride is moving before you do that. At least those guys played good cover for me.
