I was the lead rider of a group that came up behind man who seemed to be having trouble walking straight along the white line at the edge of the pavement.

There were several of us -- Patrick and myself included (that I'm aware of) -- who are newbies and first timers at both those distances 400/600 as well as completing a complete series.

Your late night adventures remind me of my experiences riding alone through the night in the 2007 NJ 600k. In the middle of the pine barrens, about 2 a.m., I saw a bicyclist approaching, wearing a black tuxedo. I kept waiting for him to change into a utility pole or a street sign, but he didn't.
