I was out riding my fixed for about three hours today, jumping in with one group of Japanese riders to another, to another, and another etc. Each group consisting of 2 to 40 riders, with the more serious riders usually in pairs. All told I must have seen several hundred riders over the course of the afternoon. While riding we would often see other groups going here and there, most everyone was happy, smiling and waving, and I ended up at W&M Burger for a snack with one of the bigger groups.

What a wonderful and almost fantastical anomaly it was sharing the road with hundreds of friendly riders, half of which were female. Oh well, back to the usual come Monday.
