Wow....4100 cyclists.....it's amazing there aren't more accidents on that course with all of those people.....I did notice a LOT of 4-5 abreast riding.....and yelling "car back" often went ignored.....I saw quite a few "elite" looking riders on the left side of the double line......and the pacelines were numerous.....not sure what they can do about it to make this ride safer.....there are a LOT of sharp turns and the cops can't man all of them.....my heart goes out to this gentleman's family......really hits home....
