[RC] Starting a 100 - Ridecamp Guest

Please Reply to: Lauretta tikitiki69@xxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
==========================================

As long as we are on the topic of 100's...what type of equipment do riders 
generally use at the start of a 100 miler, in respect to helping to see? I have 
heard about how dark it is and how some people need to adjust to the 'motion 
sickness'.  Other than having your horse follow another horse and trusting 
their footing and direction, how the heck do you keep from getting lost if you 
are away from other riders?  Flashlights, glow sticks, what works the best to 
help w/ vision on the trail?  I have a helmet light, but it does not give off a 
lot of illumination.  The rides I have done so far have started after it is 
light, and people still get lost and miss trail markers.  Any equipment 
recommendations would be appreciated; thanks!
