No kidding!  At one of our local rides, the vet crew (all non-riders or
non-100-milers) at the finish thought it was a great idea to shine a halogen
lamp back down the trail at the finish.  There was a short climb and some
rocks in the road right there--really made it treacherous, because riders and
horses couldn't see a blasted thing!  We told them what a hazard they were
creating, and I noticed the next year they had the halogen lamps shining the
opposite direction.  Bad enough, but big improvement!
