...and by god it was fun! I think this'll be a regular thing now 😀

Last time I went riding at night I was using two Cateye halogens (powered by 4 AA batteries each) and they still wouldn't touch the bastid.

Going to miss our dark night rides. Had some crackers this Winter. Ready for the light nights now though. Trails on Cannock Chase were dusty on Tuesday night, not known that in March before. Hope it the sign of a good summer.

As much as I like night riding - it just doesn't compare to a night of kicking up dust on empty trails on a warm summers evening!!!

IMO of course!

Having to wash the dust off the camelback bite valve last night brought back memories.

My first winter of night riding and I love it.
Trout Light plus the dry South Down Trails last Tuseday made for a very fast decent into Winchester. Grinning all the way down.
Going to miss these winter nights when the clocks change. 😥

when it's dark, the fun police* go home, and i can ride the good trails**

thankfully, we'll be needing lights for evening rides for a while yet...

Peachy conditions at the moment.
