Bubba and I have agreed to ride "support" for the tail end runners at the end of the CaliforniaMan Triathlon tomorrow night. I've never ridden in the dark, but agreed to do it since I only have to accompany and cheer on the folks at a running pace.

So, having never done this, what should I expect? What do you tri-gals want to hear at the end of day? What are the best words of inspiration?

Should I carry anything in a hydration pack? What is legal?

OK, now off to find my head lamp. The sponsors are providing bike lights. This ought to be an adventure. I'll do my best not to run into anyone.
