Slow Roll Week 21: Downtown Cleveland

We continue our slide toward the end of the year with a return to the city's center and a visit to a place that may feel familiar to those of you who participated in a Cleveland Critical Mass ride during the years that Public Square was being renovated.

Veteran's Memorial Plaza, on the venerable Cleveland Mall (officially known as "Mall A," though Google thinks it's actually Mall B), can be found by looking for the soaring, iconic Fountain of Eternal Life sculpture that looks out toward the adjacent sloping greenspace across St Clair Avenue and Lake Erie beyond. It's only a quick jump from Public Square and Terminal Tower, and sits at roughly 300 St. Clair Ave for your navigational needs.

We will be up and running by 6 PM, with the ride departing at its usual 7 PM start time. We hope to have a special guest or two…
