I registered yesterday, after I got the e-mail from WABA. This year I'm just going to do my normal commute on my own, but end up at Freedom Plaza rather than at my office. For the past two years the caravan from Takoma Park has been rather large (well, one of the years it was rainy so it wasn't THAT large), and I think a herd mentality takes over. People ride two or three abreast and really tick off the drivers, and I don't think that the cause of bike commuters is helped by taking over the roads so completely. But it's fun to see so many people on bikes down at Freedom Plaza, and I definitely don't want to miss it. Plus you get free stuff.
