Several tack supply outfits sell relective leg wraps. I think Running Bear Farm
may have them.
Know Valley Vet Supply has them - www.valleyvet.com. listed as vinyl refective
tape with velcro closures. available for legs, and one for tail. Suggestion to
check bicycle, sports store good for little red flashing light that can afix to
helmet, or saddle. The small light, April Johnson questioned about from Running
Bear, they do work, if you don't think velcro will hold it on breatcollar -
secure it with duct tape.Believe they are waterproof for most part, have known
riders to use them on the OD 100, and they have to cross the river - so I'm sure
they get wet. Most endurance supply catalogs carry headlights for your helmet -
they're very bright and much easier to use than carrying a flashlight, plus have
hands free for tacking up, if you have to in the dark. As far as
riding a 100, if you can ride a moderate pace 50, you can ride a 100, though
would suggest you practice some night riding - as a few people find riding at
night, makes them sick; in part an equilibrium thing with the motion and the
dark. P.S. If your going to ride at night, with something that uses
batteries, carry extra ones with you.
