The Sussex County ride started conveniently about 3 miles from my work so I loaded my bike into the car this morning and went over after work. We had about 37 riders - not as many as last year but we probably did not publicize it so well either.

8 miles, police escort (who did not use the same procedures they had in previous years) so I was pretty nervous about crossing major intersections against the lights. But all was well, and for once we didn't have 20mph winds or rain or hail. There were reporters and I'll be watching the 11pm news tonight to see if I'm on TV.
