More importantly, but still a minor annoyance. If you're a Minneapolis organization get yoru neighborhoods right. According to the website people from Southeast Minneapolis are supposed to meet at Minnehaha Park. I live in SE Minneapolis. (which, of course, is North and east of downtown). It would be silly for me to bicycle 5 miles to Minnehaha Park just to join a bikeride to downtown. Instead I'll join the NE Minneapolis ride. (NE Minneapolis is, of course, North of downtown).
Still, despite my posting worthy of any good curmudgeon, I look forward to a pleasant bike ride downtown tomorrow. I doubt I'll make it to the Quarry by 7 AM, but I do plan to meet up with the NE contingent at Hennepin and Stinson soon after they get underway.
