It looks like this thread is dying. I have scanned more images that I will be happy to post if there is interest.

The painting party was very lively this year. It is a little difficult to shoot because it is on private property and permission must be obtained before taking photos. Photographers must be invited and in the past some have been asked to leave for violating the rules.

The parade was a little disjointed due to more than 1,000 cyclists showing up, not all of them member of the Solstice Cyclists group that hosts the riders. There were numerous bumps and spills during the many laps that the cyclists made. The event is growing in popularity which may be a problem in the future.

Here are some more snaps from the painting party.
