What started in January 2012 as a social experiment over Twitter, has now become the place to be once a month when the moon is full. Meeting on every full moon under the round about in Green Point, the ride goes past the amazing Cape Town Stadium and onto Sea Point promenade.
The ride then follows the promenade and past the Sea Point library up onto Main Road. Making its way back to the city center, the ride then turns up Long Street. For me this was the best part of the ride because how often do you see so many people riding their bikes up one of the busiest roads in town with zero cars.
At the top of Long Street the ride then crosses over and makes its way down Bree Street where it finishes at Greenmarket Square.

So that is the route that the ride takes. It's a great concept and it was super to see the police out to help with the traffic control. Big up to the City of Cape Town for helping out. I can only imagine that next month is going to be even bigger so looking forward to that.

Keep an eye on the #moonlightmass website for the next event, it's going to be large.
