Its just gotten too big with too many younger kids who just like the anonymity of being in a group so they can take up the entire road and yell at cars that are trying to pass. Again, maybe I am just old and grumpy, but I dont see myself attending much until it thins out (which it has for the past 2 winters). This is the same reason why I stopped attending Critical Mass... now Critical Mass has taken over the pretzel ride.... BAHHHHH!!!
