Just saying it seems like a relatively harmless and worthless thing to rally against -- but if you had fun then I guess it wasn't time completely wasted. The original goal of the ride looked a little more serious to me, though. Did you guys whiz by the L.A.T.E. riders shouting stuff like "State sanctioned fun is never fun!!"? Or...did you just ride by "LOL"ing to yourselves about how much evil McDonald's sux while feeling superior to those ridiculous cyclists? Genuinely curious about what went down on this ride. </p>

<p>OK, so it had nothing to do with the L.A.T.E. Ride. But, it just so happened to take place at the same time and location as the L.A.T.E. Ride. And has an interestingly similar name to the original ride. Got it.</p>
