[OrRando] Thinking forward to the Three Capes

[Susan France]

Most of our experianced riders start "packing up" during the day. They very
consciously start "packing up" at night... and you will most probably hear
the organizer mention that riders should try to ride together after dark. If
it's not mentioned in the morning announcement, it is often mentioned in
Netarts. At Netarts you are probably with the same riders you'll be seeing
the rest of the ride. I've been known to introduce riders to each other in
Netarts and suggest they stick together after dark.

Lynne, if you ask someone to ride with you after dark...they will. And it
often is the most enjoyable part of the ride.

Susan.

  Specifically riding alone in the dark.  To say that this makes me uneasy
is an understatement.



  Doing the math puts me 25-30 miles from the finish at sunset.  Do riders
consciously "pack up" around sunset or shortly before?
