Despite the gloomy weather, wind and the temperature in the low 40s it was a great parade with a huge turn out. Due to the large number of bikes participating and so many spectators crowding the street it made it impossible to ride in circles as we have done in the past. After the parade we all rode over to the Shamrock for their post parade party which included Irish stew and green beer and as always was a good time. Later in the day bicycles were scattered all around the Delano distinct at the various eating establishments.
Thanks to everyone who participated and made this another fun event!
