In many popular bicycling events, support is provided by non-riders.  Typical forms of support include food stops, and a "SAG" vehicle which drives around and helps out riders who have gotten tired or have mechanical problems with their bicycles.  Usually they paint direction marks on the roads, which makes following a route a lot easier.  And there is more organization, and more riders, than for a normal club ride.  We enjoy seeing other riders out there, and at various times we get to match speeds for awhile with some folks and share stories and cheer each other on.
