Head and taillights are now required! Headlights must be bright enough to for you to see by, an in-town lamp powered by disposable batteries doesn't fit the bill. A loaner can often be arranged, post a comment and we'll try to arrange one.

The tail light must be red and should be run in steady, not flash, mode.

We'll keep the group together for safety. There is no sprinting on Union Grove (or elsewhere) until spring, and sufficient light, returns.

```
NOTE:

• The ride is limited of 16 participants.
• RSVP IS REQUIRED for all riders.
• If you plan to join the ride in progress, please leave a comment indicating where you intend to meet us.

Historical Note: The ride was initially established in 2007 as a MS-150 training ride by Teams GSK and NORTEL. The name IGNITER Indefatigable [team] GSK Nortel Invigorating Tuesday Evening Ride originated because participants continued to ride even when temperatures and daylight were low.
