Fortunately, the Chiba 400km Brevet is on October 24, so there is another chance if you should wish to try racing at night on open roads! I updated the blog post (above) to include a link to the TCC discussion -- seems like they have some Brevet veterans. The very first Positivo Espresso race appearance (Michael K., David J., Jane F. and myself, Tsukuba July 2006 mixed team Enduro) included Jane Farrell (a/k/a cyclejanetokyo), who completed the 2003 P-B-P, after some very impressive times in the qualifying Brevets.
