The cyclists, of whom many served in the U.S. Military, gathered first on the parking lots around the Pentagon in Virginia as early as 7am this morning before crossing over to the District on Memorial Bridge and heading towards the U.S. Capitol on Constitution Avenue before returning back to the Lincoln Memorial on Independence Avenue. The event draws a huge crowd of visitors to the National Mall and many could hear the 'Rolling Thunder' for several hours. (Astrid Riecken/The Washington Times )
