Here's a couple of pictures: I cant get over the number of people on bikes!! At least as many behind me as in front of me - over 1500! (Notice the purple lips! :-) It was really cold!)

Wow...that brings it all back.....There were a TON of PEOPLE...... Right before the start, we jumped the curb and started off on the other side of the road, getting past a lot of the masses. I was still in a large pack and going over stuff that I would have avoided if I was riding alone. It had my anxiety level at about an 11.....

I was so focused on the pack ahead of me....and it being DARK, I was just worried about dumping..... then I'd feel jolts of whatever I was running over..... :eek1:

After the fact, a very cool experience, but while it was happening....I was a bit sketched....
