Tuesday and Thursday Night Ride Times
Just curious if we bump up the start times at all on the Tuesday and Thursday night road rides.
The sun doesn't stay out as long and I thought at one point I heard someone say something about starting at 6:00 instead of 6:30 in September. Is there any truth to this?

we will start at 6pm the first tuesday after labour day
You guys definitely left on time last night - I saw the last group leave just as I pulled into the parking lot at 6:30 ... kinda unexpected. I rode our usual 2 loops / 46k by myself and added a 8.5k run afterwards ... by the time I got back to the parking lot around 9 it was definitely dark .... great night out though!
Which route did you guys take? I was surprised I didn't run (pardon, ride) into any of the groups / drop-offs?

I have a light setup that I use to extend my rides after sunset and was wondering if anyone else would want to continue on after sunset on Tuesday/Thursday night rides. This past Tuesday we did two laps and I got home before dark but I would like to ride a third if others are willing. Same for Thursdays. I know my setup only cost about $50 from MEC and I have used it last fall after dark and found that traffic really died down as well as giving me a lot more room as they passed.
FYI, won't be out tonight. Have a head cold that's kicking my ass :(
Might make it for Thursday though if the weather is decent.
Starting at 6:30 sharp and tightening up the release of the groups is probably a good first step. Ah...The sun is out now. Maybe not so bad tonight... don't forget your light...
