Nightin'

Went for a night trail ride this evening and I just wanted to post up an endorsement. If you have never or not recently ridden your rig at night...on a trail...in a wooded area...then you should or should again. It's Super Fantastic! First off, it's cooler. Also, there's nobody out on the trail. These two things are reason enough, however; the actual ridin' part is the best of all. Regardless of your light, your gonna have a more limited field of view. Your beam is pointed ahead, so small obstacles fade into darkness as they get closer and you just ride over them--sometimes by surprise. Large obstacles look obscure (especially if you've seen them before) and the trail itself can seem all new. The eyes are the best though. I probably saw 25-30 sets of green, orange, red, and yellow eyeballs glaring back at me. It's erie, especially when you add up the eyes, the sense that this is not a trail you know, and the feeling of being alone in the dark. Boom. For real. Try a night ride.

Sorry, no pics.
