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.
