Reply to "Locating splits in the dark."

I've taken to using white paint for night rides and like Jim, I'm not too concerned with offending the residents.

When I'm calibrating my bike at night I refresh the end markings with white paint and add a couple of warning stripes at 20 to 30 foot intervals at each end of the cal course, leading up to the end point. The warning stripes let me know that the mark is coming up and give me an opportunity to slow and downshift.

Here in the northeast, many of the courses are in high trafficked areas, even at night. Last year I bought a lighted safety vest and it's a real comfort when measuring to know that I"m very visible.
