Seasonal Lights Ride ~ Preparations


It’s tonight!

There will be no dirt on this one!  At least no dirt roads.

This is one of my favorite rides to do in this area.  It’s mostly calm, semi-rural, and low on traffic.

What you need:  Good lights.  A good strong tail light.  Reflective ankle bands.  Reflective vest or sash.  Helmet.  A good sound bicycle.  The will to ride a bit more than 40 miles at a moderate pace.  A store of happiness and smiles for your friends

Where to meet:  The Frederick Brown Amphitheater, in Peachtree City, GA.

Ride Start Time:  7:30 P.M.  (promptly!)

Additional Details:  Dress for the weather.  There will be no store stops or such, as there are no convenient stores along this route.  But…  Do dress for the weather!  We are expecting a temp of about 69 degrees at ride time.  The sun will set.  The temp will drop.  It always feels cooler when the sun is down.  Temps will likely drop to the very low 60s before we are done.  Dress accordingly.  I will plan to make a very short en route stop to allow clothing adjustment, likely about half way through.  If you wish, bring a light jacket and pull it on then.

This should be an ideal night for our ride, there is a waxing moon rising.  It will be a clear night, and the crisp temperatures are near ideal.

Hope to see a lot of you out there!
