Jo - do as much riding in the dark as possible. I had really never ridden in the dark - even the doubles I started before dawn were always twilighty - and it's comforting knowing the sun will be up soon. I had a lot of anxiety the first day of the 600 in anticipation of riding at night. it turned out to be okay, but I could have saved myself a lot of stress by practicing it.
riding at night (or 2 am) is peaceful in a way. there was a long somewhat technical descent I had to do and it was so much easier than I expected - like diving into a pool of water - hard to describe.
you'll be glad you did rides like you did today. I am hoping to do one tomorrow. daylight savings is good - dark mornings are perfect for this!

Dang, I should kept my name in the running for that assignment in San Francisco so I could ride w/you guys!
Riding at night is great, by the way. Just make sure you have a good headlamp, tail light and blinkies.
