Nice!

I have fond memories of riding the NYC century a couple of times
with friends. Guys I met online, as it happens. Several are no
longer living. :(

One of my favorite pictures from the first time is of a small
group stopped somewhere in the city gathered around unfurled paper
maps and gesticulating about what way to go. lol

My wife and I did this a few years ago.

I think they had 50,000 or so riders. It was exceptionally
well-organized, tons of support and free food, great atmosphere

As I have noted here many times, in public policy a "Yes" to
one guy is always a "No" to someone else.
