My pics didn't come out so well, so as my first big ride, here are the stats:

hilites:
seeing the bazillion bikes at the first stop

not getting mushed, or causing a wreck (which was my biggest fear)

food- my vegy sammich, soup, and beer post ride. I INHALED It. It was the best food I've ever eaten...

beautful weather

lemon drop dude, even though I had to spit it out so I didn't choke on it...

It was a great day...
