Pre-race routine:

Bagel and peanut butter at the hotel

Event warmup:

Some stretching, since this was not a race and I was with Evelyn I didn't expect to head out with break neck speeds.

Comments:

I'd like to do this every year and might consider the half marathon they do on Saturday.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, but I did learn to ride a bike and navigate by the circles and arrows painted on the road surfaces.

Warm down:

This was not a race.

Event comments:

This event is a fun ride and the support is pretty good. They said they would send me my t-shirt but it never arrived. Overall I would do this event again and will look into do the half marathon on the previous Sat in the near future.
