Okay! Well, thanks, everyone, for your advice! You were all pretty much on target.
The reason I wanted to get an early start was that if I'm going to ride in the dark, I prefer the quiet early morning hours, when the roads are empty, over the early evening hours when the roads are full. Also, I had a strong suspicion we would be slow, slower than is generally acceptable on this forum. Since we were't doing an official randonneuring "event" I don't mind that, of course.
More details on the 'century every month" thread.
Thanks again!
Rudi
