A lot of riders that entered are expecting a race, regardless of where.

But I agree with you on this one, Chris. You can't just show up with 100 guys/gals and do a run along the beaches with no notice to the proper people associated with the launch and finish. It's one thing to do that in the winter when the beaches are desolate, but they are totally slammed right now, probably the most I have ever seen. Parking alone would be a major problem.
