10,000 participants sounds like no fun to me.

That's the real reason I like double centuries, so few people - no lines for food or bathrooms, not so much poor behavior...

Stop Signs - mean stop
Riding Two Abreast - should not take up the whole lane
Music Players - Don't belong on an organized ride
Big Groups - Don't stop in the middle of the road to wait for your stragglers

But I'm a grinch.
