Hey all, I participated for the first time in Critical Mass on Friday evening (June 27th). It was a lot of fun and made for some great exercise as well. It was an excellent way to spend a beautiful summer evening. Unfortunately, some of my pics are a bit blurry since I was on the move while taking them so I apologize in advance.
Gathering on the front lawn of the Vancouver Art Gallery
Starting off down Howe Street
Going up onto the Granville Street Bridge
Making our way up to Broadway
Making our way down Broadway
Coming up to Burrard Street
Heading up the Burrard Street Bridge
Turning down Pacific Blvd
Some of the "corkers" working their magic
Looking out into English Bay
Now turning up Denman Street
Now on Georgia, heading towards Stanley Park
In Stanley Park
Coming up to the Lions' Gate Bridge
Everybody stops on the bridge as the crowd switches direction to head back into the city
And the crowd eventually turns around and we head down an alternate route, past Prospect Point and beyond (a scenic run but all downhill and quite fast so I don't have much pictures)
Now back into the West End
It was a nice evening at English Bay
And a bit later, my cohorts and I break away from the pack to make our way along the seawall to Gastown for some drinks and a bit of food
And where I end the evening - throwing back a couple beers on the patio of the Alibi Room
