[C4 Rides] [C4members] C4 Tuesday Night Touchdown Pizza Ride Update

[Charity Davis]

This is the light I purchased, but the cost was much lower at the time. Shop around amazon.com for better pricing. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008VUTP9I/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

>> Hey all!  Hope you are having a GREAT Monday.
>> 
>> For the next few weeks, before the official time change on November 3rd, the daylight will be really fading fast after 6:00.  Sunset tomorrow should be about 6:50.  As a cyclist, you really need your lights on BEFORE sunset, but you can still safely see the road without a super bright light for a few minutes after that time.
>> 
>> As such, for those that want to, we will plan on making a run up main street for HALF the time from 6:00 to sunset, then turn around, so that we'd get back to the Kannapolis research campus at about sunset.
>> 
>> We will then do "loops" until about 7:50 and then head back to Touchdown Pizza.  Obviously, you need appropriate lights to be seen, but if you are riding the Research Loop, you will probably want a brighter light; or at least be sure you are riding with someone with a brighter light.
>> 
>> There should generally be several of us there with the really bright lights and, if you ride behind someone with the really bright light, you can see well enough.  Hopefully they'll put lights around the whole loop before long!
>> 
>> 
>> For anyone on the mailing list unfamiliar with "doing loops" at the research campus, let me just say it beats riding the trainer!  Effectively there is a .9 mile flat loop at the Kannapolis Research Facility.  There is one Stop sign.  There are some folks that ride the loop at 20+ mph and others that ride it at 12 mph.  It is a GREAT way to start improving.  Maybe you normally ride at 15 mph.  When the group comes by at 20, just jump on the back and go as long as you can!  When you get tired, just sit-up, spin slowly, and recover; they'll be by again in a few minutes!  (And, yes, that is from first-hand experience.)
>> 
>> If you just want to ride with us at the research facility, feel free to park there so that you do not have to ride from and to Touchdown Pizza.  YOU need to feel safe riding in the dusk and dark with your lighting.
>> 
>> Anyway, hope to see you all tomorrow night.

>> Sincerely,
