Seeking retaliation after the traffic confrontation, the 18-year-old cycle driver, Scott Pierce, and his rider, Luis Contreras, 19, assembled six friends the next night and headed for a party where the youths in the car were rumored to be.

The 32 riders assembled at a small Parisian café at midnight.

The first riders assembled a small structure as fast as they could.

On this yearly occasion the public is invited from 9 A.M. to noon to watch the riders assemble, to ask questions, tour the mansion "and see what this place was like in the early 1900's," said Linda Connelly, director of the state historic site.

Meanwhile the riders assemble in the Back Row.

The finish is also where the riders assemble and weigh in.
