 Reston Bike to Work Day 2006 
The event was a big success; at least I thought so. We had over 280 people ride to the Town Center Pavilion for food, drinks, and prizes. It was a record turnout for our 5th annual event. We were up at 4:30 a.m. to get ready for the riders who started showing up just after 6 a.m. For the first time there was almost no leftover food or drink, so we didn't have to worry about who to donate to. It helps to attract riders when we have lots of prizes for the prize drawings every half hour. Even though I had to drive to the event to carry the 350 t-shirts, food, and other stuff, I did manage to bike to work later in the day. By 7:30 p.m. I was whipped.

We had good publicity this year, with several mentions of the event in the local papers, and this article on a woman who's been bike commuting for several years.
