Most races have roads closed OR they tell participants they are NOT closed & to obey all street signs & signals. This was NO race. There was a charity fundraiser going on as well as a Potomac Peddler ride, and so I agree that giving out tickets, without warnings, did not seem to be the best idea under the circumstances. Luckily, we had a good results, see the 7/7/09 post. Thanks for your interest and comment, dkwl Dear Miss Gertz,

(and also giving out tickets to participants of charity rides).
