Tuesday - Do you like Critical Mass?  I know you do.  Do you like riding with the LAPD?  Well, I'm not so sure about that.  For denizens of the Valley the alternate Critical Mass known as "San Fernando Valley Critical Mass" leaves the Victory/Woodley Orange Line Station at 8:00 P.M.  It's a good time.  For more information, click here.
