24hr race in Olympiypark in Munich Germany:

http://www.sog-sport.de/24/f_24.htm

July 5th and 6th

i'll probably be riding a 2 or 4-man team with my bike club.

i've never done a 24-hr race... i was hoping i could get 2 batteries and charge one while i ride, but i read in the info that you are not allowed to charge batteries in the staging area... so i figure i need just over 8 hours worth of lighting... and my 20W light lasts about 2:15... i could change the bulb to 10W and borrow my friend's battery which would get me to almost 8 hours... other than the obvious of buying extra batteries anyone got any ideas on lighting? since you "learn" the course pretty well during the day (race starts at 1pm) seems like you can get away with less lighting power, so 10W or maybe? even 5W??

or do you need more like 12 hours worth of battery or extra bulbs in case something breaks??
