What a blast

[Jody]

I normally hang out on the rodie section so this is all new to me. Just back from Dorset visiting a friend who is a keen MTB/trail rider. He took me out on the bridal paths which I really enjoyed and then out at night down all these trails and woods. The bike I had had an amazing light 5000 lux that light up like day light so it made it all great fun. What the week has done is encouraged me to get a good map and look for some bridal ways around my way

Well done.

Lights have certainly moved on a lot recently. The twin LED type I bought off ebay is staggering output for the cash. Hopefully (weather permitting) going out on a night ride tomorrow but in completely unlit areas.

Did you manage to get out? The weather is just pants at the moment

Yes, although it peed it down last night and my friend wasn't out so went on the roads. There were a few back lanes that were unlit so had chance to crank the lights on full.

How about you. Any further towards your night riding ambitions?

No sadly not. I've asked around and nobody does it at night and the cycling club near by only does the serious down hill stuff not something I'm really interested in. Tracks and forests is more up my street
