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,

newbie? I've done bike touring and

Now that, I would have been totally at home with, it's one thing you do
get practice at whil
You can try duct taping or velcroing a light to your helmet.

If you're going to be riding in country dark I would say it's almost
