Manhattan start

This is how far back we are in the mass of 32,000 people waiting to ride their bikes through the five Burroughs. We are at the corner of Church and Murray streets a few blocks north of Battery Park.

We're having fun eating bagels, talking to fellow riders from Salisbury and Maine, and wondering what perent of participants are local. We're also taking pictures and blogging as we wait for the 8am start!
