"Between 600-100 riders showed up at Roswell City Hall in and all along the route to the capitol in 2006. We looked like Sherman's army minus the matches! This year GA Rides to the Capital will be March 6 2007. Two cities currently are hosting starting points, Roswell and Decatur. Each city is competing to get the most cyclists to the State Capital. This years cause is to get funding to connect all the multi-use trails in metro Atlanta. We are being supported by the Metro Atlanta Mayors Association (MAMA)" - From an email from www.bikeroswell.com. More details at www.georgiaridestothecapitol.org. pictures from last year.

Register for the free lunch AND to be covered on the insurance, you never know what might go wrong when riding at 10mph in a group of 1,999 other people.
2,000 people at 10mph sounds
2,000 people at 10mph sounds like several places in 6 gap, so I know what might go wrong:
2- Other bicyclists don't notice some damn fool stopped his bicycle in the middle of the road to wait for his friend or adjust his seat/undies/lights/helmet/shoe/etc real quick and everybody in the vicinity crashes and a few go for a ride to the hospital typically with a busted collarbone.
1- Somebody just can't go fast enough (typically a 'bent) due to the crowd and rides down the wrong side of the road on a blind downhill. A car "unexpectedly" (and yet predictably) comes the other way. Hilarity ensues.
seriously.
Who wouldn't go for a free lunch?
