Cycling to annual corporate social event: would you?

[shootingstar]

Would you do cycle to an annual corporate social event for nearly 300 employees? I work for a govn't organization.

The event is during the day and I'm certain people will be in semi-casual nice office wear.

It's once a year we all see other another since our division is located across 5 different work site buildings. I've plotted my cycling route to avoid as much as possible the car convoy of other employees to the event site in a park. Honest, I don't feel like drawing more attention to myself on a road route, when already enough employees know that I cycle.

I have a nice black skort and probably would wear a short sleeved top over the skort. No jersey..that's way too obviously cycling-oriented. I am not certain about the weather --semi-water repellant cycycling jacket or casual dress jacket (which I SELDOM wear any while cycling). But then, I will be lugging my helmet around and have a leather knapsack purse.

It's an outdoor tent event, in a park area with catered lunch food for all us employees. There will be a few speeches for 1.5 hrs. Rest of time is to enjoy.

So would you cycle to such corporate event? Or am I doing a career-limiting move? I already know some of the senior managers and they know I cycle (they've seen me in my gear). But I wonder if now, I will appear too "obsessed" by cycling to the event.

Other options are:
*employees drive, park and organization will NOT pay for their parking.
*take light rail transit and walk half a mile to site
