Calendar - Critical Manners?
Just curious, I noticed that "Critical Manners" shows up on the calendar. Has anyone ever shown up or ridden on one of those?
It would be kind of cool to morph that into one of those "Tweed Rides" in the upcoming year, that would match up nicely. Give it some purpose instead of just being anti-CM. And fun.
And to pre-empt someone calling me a dork, I know I am but what are you?

I don't think it actually happens.

We (WPW) put out the call to the organizers a few months back...never heard back. It's pretty safe to assume it's defunct.
This _ride_ is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-_RIDE_!!
Sorry, I don't know what came over me. Those responsible have been sacked.

into one of those "Tweed Rides"
Hey, I was down in D.C. a couple of weeks ago on a Sunday and saw a huge group of riders dressed in tweed and other "proper attire" riding around ont the pedestrian section of Pensylvania Avene in front of the White House and on surronding streets. It looked like they were having a lot of fun. Some bystander said it was the tweed parade. They were having a fine time.

I showed up to ride Critical Manners back in June, I think, and couldn't find them. So I rode over to join the Critical Mass crowd and had a good time.
