Discovery Plaza in Silver Spring was busy at 8am and 8:45 this morning ( pre and post breakfast at Zeds' Coffee shop ) . Silver Cycles was offering free bike tune ups, assorted county officials were touting money appropriated for the MBT & Bike Share, the DJ was blasting away and lots of other booths of all stripes attracted and held a good turn out.
Stopped by Blair Plaza pit stop about 7:50 and there were a few people but it's a first time stop this year so they are on the upswing.

I was at the Discovery Plaza at about 7:30 and there was a good crowd there. There's an informal competition between Discovery Channel and NOAA on who has more riders. We've been beating Discovery for the past three years. The Discovery Channel employee manning the signup sheet was bemoaning that they were getting beaten again, but that most of them came later in the morning. I then went to the Blair Plaza pit stop, but they were just setting up. I did say hello to the convoy headed downtown as they entered Rock Creek Park.
