Was my first. Wasn't sure what to expect, and am now completely enamoured by the whole thing. Not sure if it was just luck that it was a good one?
Found myself explaining to some peds on the very first corner (into Upper Ground) that they could cross as we were going very slow. Appreciated the incredible diplomacy I witnessed from then on at all intersections. Loved the anarchic, flowing peacefulness. Music was great! Like carnival on bikes.
I'm not so sure about die-ins, so was relieved to be saved from the peer pressure by the ambulance.
Will again, and will make sure I don't get dropped buying beer.
