Often riders will adorn their helmets with silk flowers or ribbons or other various and sundry frou-frou.
Another popular option has been known to attach a piece of lightweight netting or tule (sp?) to the back of your helmet for that lovely flowing veil effect, one benefit of which is that it makes it seem like you're going faster in photos
Tiaras are optional, but are always appreciated. Scepters are somewhat frowned upon for safety concerns, particularly if they were originally cattle prods.

Oh dear. That Bob Roll commercial where he's on the trainer naked is coming to mind.

yes it's mandatory
Just kidding Mel, lots of women wear costumes but it's not required. A helmet's the only thing required ... wait a minute, wait a minute, let's not go with that visual It's not clothing optional. 
Hrm. I still have my tiara from my wedding... Originally Posted by Slinkedog

Can I use a javelin so long as I wear a tiara? It would only be aimed at car tires (and the 3-abreast tea parties).

Many things are forgiven if you wear a parrot or a tiara. Or both.

I think getting together after the ride for a recovery beverage is a super idea. There's always a tasty assortment of food-like items in the main building after the ride, and, like snap said, the bar on the other end of the building has been open in the past (we, um, know this from personal experience
). If I recall correctly they had soft drinks, as well as a good selection of beer.

And, the slowpokes who you've just squeezed past who insist on riding around everyone else to the front at each traffic light? Originally Posted by Veronica

Truthfully though, for anyone who hasn't ridden this ride before, this ride probably has the highest percentage of inexperienced group cyclists of all I have ridden.

LOL - for myself #1. For you - oh I guess #1.
Someday I'll be your age and you can't be old because I'll be old when I get there. Bitter - nah. You're too sweet. I like my hat.
