Yeah, I met quite a few people this month who were attending for the first

time. There's always the regulars, but the rest seem to rotate. Would be good

if everyone who had ever been on a mass over the years all decided to turn up

at once one month. I wonder how many that would be...20,000? Maybe it will

happen for the 20th anniversary.

Anyway, the ride was good, not much to report really, usual type of Central

London route, about 3 or 4 sound systems. Some cab driver aggression as always,

but that's par for the course. Went past the Occupy camp again, which seemed a

bit muted compared to last time. Had a little mini-rave in the central park

area of Sloane Sq. underneath the very posh looking Xmas lights in the trees.

Finished at Trafalgar Sq. Overall nice evening.

Didn't appreciate being told I'd be thrown under a bus by a fellow rider (Angry

guy in an orange hi-vis with fairy lights on his bike) if I continued to

"Shout" at people, having shouted as I cycled past some idiot riders blocking

oncoming traffic for no reason. This moron was clearly out for a fight but it

seemed a bit stupid that he decided he'd start on a cyclist... Otherwise had a

lovely ride, Was great cycling past the OccupyLSX group and the Long boarders

allowed cyclist to lead for the second half of the ride.

All in all, really enjoyed this month!
