I'm not sure what part of the country you are in but I would fender that Roadeo or take a fendered bike in January.
My frequent strategy for riding brevets in non-home territory was to find some local to shadow or follow especially when it got dark. If you wait til later wen dark approaches, you will be around similar speed riders. I also had trouble reading cue sheets in the dark with bifocals. A light on helmet caused tilt of head putting reading view too high for the magnifying area. I ended up using a small pinch light on an elastic shoe string hanging hanging around my neck. Most of the time it rode inside my jersey but was easily retrieved when needed.
