Tuesday, November 13th 2007

Gather: 8:30pm
START: 8:45pm SHARP (people will be present to direct late ridazz)

Ride: We will start at 724 Pacific St, Santa Monica CA, 90405, approximately the West corner of Lincoln & Pacific. We'll ride to the Santa Monica City Council at 1685 Main St.

There is a chance we may have to change the time of the ride if the council changes their agenda order - watch this board and your email for updates.

The Santa Monica Police Department conducted unprecedented harassment of Santa Monica Critical Mass at our November 2nd ride. Approximately TWENTY riders were cited, in some cases for leaving the bike lane in order to avoid police cruisers.

We're at risk of losing the ability to ever hold group rides in Santa Monica!! It's time to show the Santa Monica City Council we support Santa Monica Critical Mass. We will ride from 724 Pacific St. to a public meeting of the SM City Council, where we will make public comments in support of SMCM, and highlighting the political use of the SMPD. We should be done at approximately 12:30am, so those that are inclined can adjourn for drinks.

For Ridazz sake - have proper lights on your bike!

For clarification, the SMDP said 32 riders were ticketed.

And, I'll do what I can to be there.

Is It a ride in the Morning or a Ride in the Evening??

[Alex Thompson]
