Here's a question from a no-so-new
rider with a remorseful soul...
There is a chance I'll have a work issue keep me
from arriving at an upcoming ride on Friday afternoon (when normal
folks usually show up.) I'll either arrive late Friday night
(around 8:00 or so) or early Saturday morning (around 6:00--an hour before the
first riders go out) and will probably vet check into the ride early on
Saturday. I don't mind a potentially late start, as this is our
first race since May and we'll take it easy.
I hate disrupting camp... but duty calls and
there is a military function that trumps my personal schedule on
Friday afternoon. Is it considered an irredeemable sin to arrive in camp
after dark (NLT 10:00pm) or before everyone's awake?
