Back to the Present

Updates on Current Projects:

General Info: I’m having just a little difficulty getting schedules straight. Please bear with me. I have a couple of personal issues that are making schedule setting just a wee tad difficult.

Nights Under Lights: How about an attempt at this on Tuesday 20 October? Here’s the plan. We meet at Bicycles Unlimited. We’ll plan to do about a one hour road ride.

Lighting Requirements: Good Strong Headlight and a strong red tail light.

Clothing: Dress for the weather. Reflective vests or sash and reflective ankle bands are required.

Ride Style: Group will stay together.

Pace: Low Moderate. Likely about a 13 mph rolling average. (see the last post on averages)

Dawn Patrols: We’ve done these in the past and had a lot of fun doing it. The idea is similar to “Nights Under Lights.” Night riding. But there are a couple of twists.

Sooner of later every tourist will have to deal with night riding and sleep depriviation. So why not set up conditions where we can experience both, under somewhat controlled circumstances?

Dawn Patrols will be on some Sunday mornings. We’ll alternate between Fayetteville and Peachtree City for start points. The IHOP in Fayetteville, and the Original Pancake House in Peachtree City.

We’ll start very early in the morning, well before dawn, and go riding on long loop. The loops will be designed to get us to a reliable coffee stop at just about dawn. From there is should take about another hour to return to the start.

Once back to the start a group breakfast is entirely optional.

Likely, we’ll start these in December.

Note: When we’ve done these in the past we have gradually set the start times earlier for each ride. Eventually, we’ll get out there at something like 04:00.
