Tuesday evening, Oct 26, Strays will head out from the home of Velvet and Rob on a 23 mile ride to Worthington Springs and back.

 

Ride requires full legal* lighting. A light of at least 100 lumens is required on the front and a blinky on the back, with passive reflectors. Passive reflectors are a requirement of the law.

 

Check and make sure your lights are working before you show up, lights are notorious for having 'issues'.

 

Brief convenience store stop at the mid ride point in Worthington Springs.

 

Arrive at 5:45 for a 6 pm departure.

 

If you have not been on a ride with the Strays you will need to read all of the information at:  http://gccfla.org/cgi-bin/webridedetail.cgi?groupid=8

* Legal minimums mean minimum safety. Keep in mind that just because lights meet the minimum requirement of the current laws does not mean they are actually suitable or safe for riding in the dark at night. So they will not be suitable for riding with the Strays. We ride in the countryside where it can be pitch black if the we have overcast. With overcast, you won't even be able to see the stars, much less the road.

LED light development has left our states ancient laws of transportation in the dust of the Grand Wazoo, there is no good economic reason not to have safe ride lights today. If you don't know what the lumen output of your light is, then you can bet it is less than 100 lumens. No manufacturer will fail to mention this output if their product exceeds it. Don't buy a light that doesn't tell you how many lumens it outputs.
