Yeah, I've known a few people that did it. Imagine 10,000 riders, all riding hammer-down, nobody having any common courtesy, all pretending to be Patani in the TdF. Yeesh!
Nope-not for me.

Hi,
I have done that ride for the past 4 years. About 30,000 people of all ages participate. It's really nice. You get to ride on many highways and roads that otherwise you can't ride on. My favorite is riding across the Verazzano bridge. I wish they would make a bike option so that people could normally bike across that bridge. The tour is overall great, however sometimes it gets really slow at a few points because there are soo many people.
