I asked the guys at work what I could do to get some more time from the headlight. Eric, who built the light, and Brandon both thought a 20 watt bulb rather that the 30 that was being used would be the way to go. Brandon was nice enough to donate one to the cause, so I put it to the test on another night ride and I am pleased to say I got a solid 90 minutes from the headlight. Now I need to learn how to dress again...too warm tonight.
I went for my first deliberate night ride one night last week, and it was a blast! I was trying to remember who last year was going for the night rides, and now I know it's you. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteNight riding turns the trails you know like the back of your hand, into brand new trails!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember the 1st night ride i went on many years back. It was such a blast!!! Just one more reason to ride the bike!! Ha, like I need another reason!! LOL
Peace..........
Does early morning riding count as a night ride?

Big Oak...One thing I have noticed while riding at night with lights is that the autos seem to give a lot of room. Some even slow down and take a real good look.
ReplyDeleteJoboo...I haven't been on the single track during darkness...Yet! ! I do plan on it though.
CAD...I think you answered your own question, although if you're using a light we may have to give you that one.
