Event comments:

We have no desire of doing again (went with friends & family). Everything took way too long (don't know why). The start time was delayed 30min, after that the ride wound thru the streets in what seemed like stages. We would need to constantly stop then continue only when told to do so. By the time we got to the YMCA (about mile 20), stop they would not let us thru and then pushed us as quickly as possible.
There wasn't enough police escort. Some big intersections were not controlled and I witnessed a few hair raising, close call moments.
In a nut shell, this event dragged on like we were in the twilight zone & could wait for it to be over, we're not returning.
