Absolute piece of cake. There were about sixty people at the little breakfast stop/raffle thing at the something-or-other park in Rosslyn. The cream cheese for the bagels ran out pretty fast -- that's one indication of a turnout that well exceeded expectations. I arrived at about 8 because I had to prep my daughter for her oral presentation in school today. I would have to assume that there were more people there earlier in the morning. Lots of fenders, rain capes, and Gortex -- I'd have to assume that there were few novices there. Then again, it was the same way last year when it did not rain -- also seemed to be about as many people as last year.

No major disasters. Every time it rains, car traffic comes to a halt, rendering the cagers harmless. I rode past big backups on the GW parkway on the way to the Rosslyn stop.
