Over 2000 riders participated in the Anthem ride. The weather held – despite threats of rain – and the event was a blast.
Thanks to all the sponsors, riders and volunteers.
I loved the ride and responded to the followup survey. However I wanted to add a comment. I found the Monument Avenue leg of the ride crowded and unsettling because people seemed impatient. They passed in unsafe ways, crowding other riders. This was troubling, given that the second lane was open to traffic. Perhaps the planners can address this next year.
