NIght ride

I went for my first night time mountain bike ride in 8 years the other night out at Cosmo with Jasen Matayas. I forgot how much different the trails are in the dark. I scored a Cygolite Li-ion powered LED system for my bike, so I thought I would give it a try. Needless to say, my lap times around the race course are way slower in the dark. I can't imagine riding those trails at night without knowing them. I am super familiar with the trail system there, and I struggled in a lot of spots.

Plans are in the works for a weekly ride out there with lights, come out if you want.

On another note, I am registered for the Berryman Epic 60 mile mtb race in the Fall. Good times.
