Yes. Seriously.
Sunrise is at 6:45 am on 11/11, and 6 am's definitely too early for me!
Hope those attending comply with the spirit of RUSA Rules for Riders
Article 10:
/*Article 10*/
/For night riding, vehicles must be equipped with front and rear
lights attached firmly to the vehicle. Lights must be turned on at
all times during hours of darkness or other low-light conditions
(rain, fog, etc.). At least one of the rear lights must be in a
steady (rather than flashing) mode. All riders' lights must meet the
requirements of local laws. A rider is not permitted to cycle at
night or in other low-light conditions without working front and
rear lights attached to the vehicle; therefore backup lighting
systems and/or spare bulbs are strongly recommended in case the
primary system fails and cannot be repaired on the roadside. Each
rider, whether riding in a group or alone, must fully comply with
this requirement. Everyone must use their lights! /
/During hours of darkness or other low-light conditions, all riders
must wear a reflective vest or some other device that clearly places
significant reflective material on the front and back of the rider.
During these times all riders will also wear a reflective ankle band
around each ankle. (Due to their unusual seating position, recumbent
riders may modify their reflective torso devices to show better from
front and rear.) Other reflective devices on clothing, shoes,
helmets, and machines are encouraged for increased safety - but they
are extra and may not take the place of the minimum items listed
above. Riders must review the //RUSA reflective guide
<http://www.rusa.org/reflectivity/>//and are strongly encouraged to
meet the recommended minimum standards for torso reflectivity
described in that document. /
especially if you're planning on taking the Potomac Ave/Crystal Drive
alternative to the Mount Vernon Trail detour.
