It was amazing how many people/police it took to get the traffic that was trying to turn off of the finishing straight onto the road that the riders were descending on to move out of the way. A lot of them didn't seem to understand why 20+ people were screaming and shouting at them. It also didn't help that we couldn't tell when the next rider was coming down the hill.
