Darkness conquered!
I survived! No falling off, no punctures, no killer-cow attacks.
It was amazing how something as simple as riding at night completely changes your style of riding. Your world becomes nothing more than a 30 foot strip directly in front in which you need to evaluate speed, direction, surface-type and ultimately, risk.
I was surprised how relaxing it was, my grip on the bars became loose as the speed rose and tunnel vision takes over. On the slower, technical stuff, you begin to proiritise these factors to hold momentum.
Bring on the next night-ride. Which will no doubt be longer, darker and just as much fun!
A big thanks to the guys at Hope, for producing the brilliant light unit, a fantastic package – made in England too!

Do you need to thank anyone else for the lights?
