Did an hour and half last nite in the dark with lights I just got for the first time , kept on low near by tracks having told wife were I was riding just incase owt happened . Was good not as difficult to see as I thought it would be , just need to get mates to get lights and try it now
With the brightness of modern lights night riding isn't much different to daytime riding! Apart from the things in the shadows waiting to jump out and chase you 😈 😮 😉
+1 No matter how good the lights are they don't protect from the evil which lurks in the woods just outside the pool of light. 😯
Bright lights don't keep bears away
Keep looking forwards, keep looking forwards, DONT look towards the rustling!!!!!
Roots look like snakes, every rustle in the woods is either a big bear or a mad axeman, I think I ride quicker as I'm afriad of the bogey man. Not sure I enjoy it until I get home and the doors are locked!
People say wolves are extinct in Britain, but anyone who's done a solo night ride knoiws different.
also did my 1st night ride the other day.
got a leaf stuck in my wheel and thought the world was blowing up 😕
Did my first ride last night too...and just happened to be taking all the new Whytes for a spin, all fully equipped with Exposure lights!

Absolutely, was this around the back of Chequers? I am convinced I saw one slink across the trail a few weeks ago.
I always stick to the path, especialy on a full moon...

Mind out for gangs of youths that like shiny 3k bikes... ever seen Eden Lake?
Never look behind you
I once got chased by a rabble of strikers
That imaginary sound of something behind you will always make you look round, then you'll have broken the seal……once the fear's there, it wont go away……it niggles no matter how much you dismiss it, just how fast can that axe wielding psycho run….if your climbing you feel extra vulnerable, surprising how much quicker axe man gets you to the top…....adds a whole new buzz to mountain biking. Up a hill in the middle of a forest at night, just cos we got some shiny spangly expensive lights……great innit! 🙂
