From Bruce Parker:

Carolyn Devine has requested a web ride out of Canby. I suggest we meet at Thriftway just off of 99E and Ivy St at 10:00 am and depart by 10:30 am. I will be glad to show you my fast 50 ride which is extremely flat and good road, parts you have seen before, some really good road is new. Of course the ride is subject to change depending on the whims of participants.

I have to add a disclaimer, there is a possibility I can not attend because of domestic responsibilities and I won't know until later. This group knows the area and will have a great time with or without me.

If we decide that this blog is a good thing to have, here a some things to think about:

1. Can we get a couple of volunteers to admin/moderate it?
2. Will this tool (Geeklog) suit our needs?

We tested 6 bike/rider combinations for visibility under 3 different situations: Rear View/Departing, Sideways Approach, and Head On Approach. Roadway had streetlights at intervals, and judges were located near a vehicle with it's high beams on. Bikes/Riders were judged on 5 things during each test: Noticeability at Distance, Ease of Identification as Bike, Ease of determining Location, Ease of determining Direction/Course, and Noticeability at Close Range. Scoring ranged from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent).
