Riding down a back country road at dusk, as the sun starts to set and the sky turns rosy pink and gradually fades to purple and goes to full dark can be thrilling and beautiful. Then, after everyone turns their lights on, you can see the other riders' tail lights up ahead, like a string of Christmas tree lights moving through the darkness. It's all quite beautiful; and you can get it on a November 200K easily. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
