Ours was a real success. We had about 125 riders, and wonderful police escorts both on bike and in cars. We hit a lot of our city and many people were out watching and showing support, and we had a couple of people join us en route from their own rides. One kid/teen/guy joined us, he was just hanging out on the street with his friends and I thought he was goofing around when he joined but he finished the ride with us respectfully. He was breaking every safety protocol, dressed all in black, no helmet, no lights, etc. When we finished and gathered in the parking lot everyone hung blinky lights on his bike and pockets and begged him to get a helmet and sent him to ride home with well wishes. It was sweet.
