foxes that look like lions
Mate, if you have to look down, it's not a lion.
I night ride all the time for training and I am fed up with it. Pain in the balls it is.
And no lights make it look like daylight, no matter how bright they are. Because they are shining from you outwards, so everything has shadows behind it, and you can't see past things because the shadows are bigger than the objects themselves.

My 1st experience of night riding was last years D2D, it certainly opened my eyes..... I hired an exposure maxdd and thought it was brilliant (no pun). So this year i have just bought a ssc-p7 1200lm led light of ebay for £50, used it for the first time tues night and it was great. We saw a fantastic sunset and 5 deer flat out on the SDW near Cissbury!!! Havent been spooked yet but last year during D2d i was riding for at least 15-20 doing on own throught the forrest amd it was a tad eerie.
