Actually, being the longest day of the year sunset will be at 8:33. So you should be fine without lights.

I'd love to join you, but I haven't got the whole time travel thing figured out yet.

Ahhhhh.... I see now....

I will be riding on 9/22/2010

I may also be up for a ride 6/22/2011. You will not need a light for that one.

Ken,

When an object is pushed in the direction of motion, it gains momentum and energy, but when the object is already traveling near the speed of light, it cannot move much faster, no matter how much energy it absorbs. Its momentum and energy continue to increase without bounds, whereas its speed approaches a constant value?the speed of light. This implies that in relativity the momentum of an object cannot be a constant times the velocity, nor can the kinetic energy be a constant times the square of the velocity.

So in this case if you get to the Pinnacle before dark you'll have to ride fast to be done before it gets dark or bring lights.

Now that you corrected the title my smartassedness makes no sense at all.

Incase people missed the start time in the Title. Jesse is riding at 6pm not the usual 5:30pm.

I plan to be out there somewhere at some point tonight...

My light is very strong, the photons from its beam will slice through the night sky creating a vortex from which my bike will propel me to the finish before I even start, which poses a curious question, "Do I even need a light?"

I can make it wrong again after the ride is over if you like.

I'm riding at 6 to allow time for a couple of friends driving from Franklin.
