Hi,
Me and my missus were at a trail centre today, just finished the ride - it was about 3.30pm - so about an hour of daylight left.
Coming up towards us was a chap and his girlfriend, he had on riding clothes, decent jacket and a helmet mounted light - looked like a Hope R4 possibly.
She had kneepads on, no jacket, a very small camelbak - not enough for a Montane Velo... and no helmet.
It struck me as odd, as she had knee pads, they were saying as they went passed that they'd be doing the black - which is about 2 1/2 hours.... she had no light mount, and no helmet to mount one to.
And... it just started to rain - so I'm guessing she'd be getting a bit cold and wet.
I know the helmet issue has been done here a thousand times, but I think the vast majority would agree on a black - that is technical, and very greasy and muddy - and in the dark, it'd be prudent to wear a lid.
Would you have said anything to them? Mentioned that maybe they should check the time? or if she'd forgotten her lid?
Cheers

That's a bit of overkill.
