I'm no stranger to night riding and the occasional dh run during the hours of darkness but tonight having just fired up the new hope r4 i'm loving it.
I'm a big fan of doing run after run in search of a 'clean' one (almost forgot there's no such thing as perfect one for a second) sooo this seems like a logical progression. DH sessions after dark. I can see myself doing loads midweek this winter.
Did about an hour and a half in the stockport area tonight.
Anyone feeling it?
Obviously the whole being out in the woods mooching up a hill with a fancy bike on you own bit is playing on my mind.
Just done 25k with the new lights. Crispy leaves,squelchy mud underneath,average temp of 3.5c
Was down at innerleithen tonight, practicing/light testing for the full beam night downhill race on saturday. Minor difficulty of not being able to tell trails from not-trails because everything's either grey, or buried in pine needles... But otherwise good. Not really digging night-jumping though.
There is something to hitting a must do section in the dark with the landing just happening 🙂
