As captain of our elite group of riders, I have never finished below third in a 24-hour race.  Then again, I have never participated in a 24-hour race, either.  I think that I have done a good job selecting a group of slow riders to afford me maximum rest between my projected two laps of riding.  With a fully-charged Nite Rider mounted on my helmet, I intend to offer plenty of backlighting to my fellow participants as they power past me into the darkness.
