    I'll join you guys for the junior route to the Doppler and back. The whole loop is a little bigger than I can bite off for a midweek ride. You may still beat me back to the car. lol I hate daylight savings time, but I do like me some night riding! :thumbsup:

    My lights still function so I'm for sure a go. I'm going to head to the doppler and back because i think my batteries may be suspect... and I also can't keep up with these singlespeed demons. After this ride I'll get some new batteries and take part in the hammerfest next week!

    Well....when I report back that it was hot, dry and way too windy after the ride, you may have made the better choice. :(
