I ended up getting there about 6pm and stayed about an hour and half. I told those guys, from the little bit that I saw it was evident that this years cruise was noticeably larger than the one I went to 2 years ago (I missed last years event). I mean...they had portable bleachers set up in a lot of areas...I don't remember those being there. I parked back in one of the neighborhoods and was about 5 blocks from the strip. But I was smart and brought my Gary Fisher with me.

Years past I have tried to see as much of that cruise as I could and the best I could manage was 2 miles down on one side of the street and then back on the other for a total of 4 miles. Your best bet is to do what Trush and company did and that is to find a spot to park and pull up a chair. Half the fun is seeing all the idiots that come out for that event. What was up with that blue alien guy who ran by with his arms flailing?
