On the 7th of October, Critical Mass bike riders took to the streets on their former scheduled day, first Friday of the month, to support Occupy DC and Stop the Machine, as well as catch any riders who missed the change of schedule to the international last Friday of the month day.

The ride was a fairly short one, leaving Dupont Circle, heading south to Freedom Plaza, down Penn Ave to 3ed st after stopping there, back around to 7th st, up to Chinatown, then West on H st, north on 14th st, finally west on K st to end at the Occupy DC encampment at McPherson Square.
