the openday went well at ride, the scavenger hunt was great fun, good prizes and a range of different people participating. the film went well, it was interesting but sort of makes you inspired and not at the same time. NYC makes out mass's look REALLy rubbish. thats why i rekon we should concentrate on things other than CM to build interest in the biking scene in manchester, CM's have become to small and boring, especially in the winter.
Lets put on another piratey hunt in a months time or so.
thanks to people who came and people who helped (i cant take any credit, i didnt do anything exept make the flyer)
