I feel kind of like a tourist when we do go in and take in the sites. I can't even imagine the logistics involved in getting all the jurisdictions to cooperate for an event of this scale. That's not my idea of a dream job. ;)<br /><br />I'm just glad that we didn't wind up in the bumper-to-bumper traffic on the bridge <a href="http://www.waba.org/blog/2012/05/recap-bike-dc-2012-edition/" rel="nofollow">like some people</a> when Metro Police opened I-66 too early. We were lucky to have hung out at the Air Force Memorial rest stop long enough for that issue to have been resolved.Melanie Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540747770586922326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481265.post-21897367481292523572012-05-15T15:58:28.141-04:002012-05-15T15:58:28.141-04:00Wow... sounds like quite a ride. I'm glad that...Wow... sounds like quite a ride. I'm glad that the good outweighed the bad as well. I think with any organized event (even outside of riding), it's difficult to get everything right, but I enjoy the pictures and hearing your account of the day.<br /><br />I couldn't help but giggle when you said, "We got to ride our bikes on an INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, y'all. " It actually reminded me of when we ran our marathon in Las Vegas. Coming from California, Vegas was very familiar and a routine stop for us, but having the main drag blocked off and lacking the typical bumper-to-bumper traffic was an odd feeling. I suspect it would be similar to riding a bike on an interstate without traffic.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed! :O)G.E.http://endlessvelolove.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
