I was looking at night lights at the LBS today because I've been itching for after work rides. The time change killed them for me.

Full moon rides are great if you can do it. The later you stay out the brighter it gets.

Whats the best bang for the buck setup? I've never done any real night rides, but want to ride after work, or early in the morning. Id be riding tight, twisty, dark NE singletrack. I like the idea of bar and helmet, but maybe just helmet would be ok. I will probably;y just be riding solo. That Amoeba one does look really cool.

Dude, you're still alive? Still in Chelmsford?

I don't have lights. So I used nature at 7:30 this morning and was at my desk at 9am. No problem .

Yeah, haha, made it through school and working downtown and living in south boston now. I still ride trails in chelmsford and lowell, I havent found much on that level close to boston.

Looks like your a bit further west now? how are the trails out there?

To be honest I haven't ridden much out my way at all. I still work in Bedford, so I still ride the usual places around Boston, as all my riding buddies live in and around Boston anyway.

You dont need fancy lights for night riding. I once did a night ride with a flashlight zip tied to my helmet.

Wasn't there a small amount of alcohol and a large amount of crashing involved with that ride? Or was it the other way around.

Never could watch that movie all the way through, too damn shaky.

More of a concern are deer at night, some dart across the trail directly in front of you. Others stand a few feet from the trail and just stare at you as you go by. The deer around the trails here are not hunted and not scared of mountain bikers.

Yeah, there was a large amount of both.
