You ride right up to the East side of the Capitol on E. Capitol Street, then turn right on Capitol Circle, then left on Independence Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>Independence Avenue is on a slight hill, so as you look ahead, all you see are the police motor officers and other bikers as far as the eye can see.  Man, what a view.  What a sight!  I can&#8217;t express the thrill I feel in doing this.  What a rush.

I among many sincerely appreciate and am thankful for their work &#8212; and their sacrifice.  This is what <i>Law Ride<\/i> is all about.  It&#8217;s not just a kick to ride as a big mob through the streets of DC.  Gotta remember that.<\/p>\n<p>But I just have to say this: &#8220;this is really cool!
