The first Critical Mass went over pretty well. Very unorganized, but it was punk as hell. I got to DeLand super early because I needed to get my bike from Chris' house. Every one met at Painter's Park (Black Wall) and there was about eight of us or so. We ended up having to visit a few peoples houses to get them. We rode around Downtown DeLand or a little bit. No course set, just aimless wandering. We got held up by getting water and drunk high schoolers crying about whatever. After that we made our way to Beresford Trail to go to Orange City. That trail is pretty scary at night and you can't see a thing. We had no idea where to go or what to do after that. We went to Nathan's house and ate a bunch of food. Mostly junk food and more junk food. We were either headed to Debary or DeLand. I don't remember why we were going to go to Debary, but we went back to DeLand. On the way back on the trail Thomas, Chris, and Ramon saw a rabbit running in the trail. Then I heard screaming up ahead, because they were riding really fast. I thought that Chris let out a really gros fart. What really happened is that the rabbit was running away from some kind of cat, most likely a panther or bobcat. I would have pooped my pants and kicked my bike into overdrive A few people left the group, but we pressed on. Chris had some Vegan Outreach flyers that we handed out to some people. There was a church out on the courner of a street in Downtown DeLand telling drunk people they were sinners and whatnot. We gave them a Vegan Outreach flyer and then they tried telling us that no eating meat is wrong. I remembered that my friend Danielle told me a verse in Romans about God not caring what you eat and loves everyone the same. A girl was said "Show me, show me!" like it was some sort of contest. I just told her to read the whole book of Romans. We passed out some more flyers to drunks and put some on cars. We went to Stetson for a little rest and to pass around flyers. We were at the fountain in the middle of Stetson when a big group of college kids emerged from their dorm rooms. There was on kid that had his hands and feet tied and was slung over another kid's shoulder. I asumed most of them were drunk by the way they were walking and acting. They threw the kid who was tied up in the fountain and when he tried to get back up a girl pushed him in again. We them went to the dorms and put Outreach flyers on cars. We were leaving and found some brick structures that we rode around in circles quite a few times. Next we headed to Walmart. No reason and no one cared. We got to Walmart and that was our one good break and I stood up and my legs hurt worse than when I was peddling up a hill. We sat on a bench inside for a long time and walked around for about 20 minutes. We left Walmart to go to Chris' house. Nathan and I stayed over and we were so tired. By the time we got home it was about 3 am. It was crazy because we started at 7 pm. We chilled out and watched some Walker Texas Ranger, but fell asleep five minutes into it. Nathan had the best spot to sleep, a small couch. Chris had a recliner and I layed on the floor. It was only temporary, but I stayed there all night. It was a good night and a good ride. Here are a few of the pictures that were taken.

The start at Painter's park. Not everyone was in the picture or was there.

A bike pile-up while we stocked up on snacks and beverages.

Taking the streets by storm!

Ramon getting nasty at a stop sign.

Nathan was getting a little pissy becuase he saw a McCain/Palin sign.

McCain outrages my as well.

When Chris isn't laying out nasty farts he is peeing off of bridges.

We had a grindcore session at Nathan's house. We also ate all of his food.

We reached out inner child again and went to a playground.

Nearing the end we stopped at Walmart. Not many of us left and it was like 2 am.

I agree.
