Night Riding
Going to start weekly or every other weekly night rides up here On Vancouver Island. Bunch of us got some Trailtech HID helmet lights coming and hope to get the first ride in this week.
Been looking forward to this all summer long , should be a blast as everything looks way different in the Dark. Fortunately here on the Island we don't get much snow , mostly liquid sunshine in the the winter , so we should be able to a lot of night riding in this winter Steve

Night riding is great. You'll find that the reflection from the raindrops is more of a bother than the lack of sunshine. You can actually see the trail better at night with an HID than you can with the sun creating varying light and casting shadows.

Hey Steve did you shop around for your Trailtech HID helmet lights.
I have a different brand I'll check when I get home. It's ok for the tight woods but not enough for open trails and fire roads.

Yeah we looked around at a lot of stuff and went direct with Trailtech MR11 spot/flood combo . we will be riding mostly single track and we also have the Full stock head lights on our bikes too as a added bonus . the open stuff will be logging roads to and from the trails , so i think we will be good to go. I'll let ya know after tomorrow nights ride, the lights arrived today

Well I dug up the box my helmet light came in. More for Mountain biking.
But the price was right and it is 900 Lumins. It just called a Bicycle Light from Magicshine

Thats the same emitter thats in my VisionX lights. Two spots are fine for night backroad riding, should be OK for all but really fast stuff.
