We have a scheduled night ride this evening and each week we ride at night makes me wonder if this will be our last ride of the season on these trails before old man winter shuts us down....now to find an appropriate (or inappropriate) costume for the evening....We got some snow earlier this week and it feels like we are in extra time with being able to get out on these trails.
Another upside of this nocturnal riding action is the continued testing of the Magicshine light series. The little brother of the Magicshine 1400 came in and the Magicshine 900 will be the perfect compliment mounted on the helmet and for a backup. The last thing you want when riding at night is for your light system to go belly up and be stuck out in the dark. While doing the 24 hours of Steamboat 3 yrs ago, this happened to me and it was a very very rough descent back down. By the time I got back to the start/finish area, I was so motion sick that my day was o-v-e-r...It is a weird sensation to have your body moving one way while your mind sees something completely different.
speaking of weird sensations...this is just PRICELESS - wonder why it never caught on?
