The MPD showed up right at the beginning. This officer was
explaining how they were going to handle the ride.
|
|
One of the many mobile messages on the ride.
|
|
A more direct message.
|
|
Off we go around the Capitol Loop.
|
|
More of the loop
|
|
Heading down East Washington. Despite what the officer suggested to
the group, participants chose to take up all the lanes on East Washington.
|
|
Further down East Wash. Eventually we turned on Wright Street. The
MPD corked for us at major intersections, including Highway 30.
|
|
We ended up at the National Guard building on Wright St, then
decided to take the Starkweather Creek Path.
|
|
The Police lost us for a bit, but soon were driving behind us on
the bike path.
|
|
Yes, the bridges along the path are designed to carry the weight of
a Police car... They are actually designed to carry the weight of a snow plow -
which is good because that means the city can clear the path!
|
|
As the path closed in on Aberg Avenue, bicyclists migrated from the
path to the road.
|
|
The Mass approaching Shopko Drive...
|
|
Waiting at the light on Aberg and Shopko...
|
|
Further down Aberg, heading for N. Sherman. The mass headed into
Maple Bluff and went to the Governor's Mansion.
|
|
Back onto Sherman, Fordem, and finally onto Johnson. The Police
re-routed motor-vehicle traffic from Johnson to Washington at the Baldwin St.
Intersection. Still, there were plenty of cars backed up behind the Mass.
|
|
My tire was going flat so I left the group near the Capitol...
