EZ Fully Loop Ride

[mrs_boats]

Meet at parking lot at 5:50PM
Roll-Out at 6:00PM

Are you looking for a slow, casual, social ride with plenty of rest/ regroup stops?

Is the Thursday nighter a bit fast for your taste?

Then come on out to the fullerton loop on Tuesday and join SAR_Boats and I on a Fully ride!!!

Once again free of parental responsibilities we are planning to hit the loop. Since I will be there and am not very good yet we are definitely going to set a nice, easy pace.

Route: Depending on time and ambient light, we may shortcut past cardiac hill but we will definately do the golf course trail.

Lights: If you have a light, bring it just in case. We will probably be done before it is completely dark but it is better to have a light and not need it.

We drive a small, black SUV with stickers on the back window that will be parked at the south-east end of the courthouse parking lot. Hope to see you there!

As always, no one gets left behind

I'm in, get to try out my new diy halogen light (looks similar to yours lambda drive) I just need to swap out the flood for a spot, btw what wattage is yours? I have a 20w, tempted to throw in a 50w.. or 35w if they make it, went on a 20min test ride last night and it really didn't get very hot

I'd like to come, and haven't been on my bike in a while, but I'm supposed to go watch Sex and the City so I don't know if I'll be able to. Definitely will try though!

The bulb I run is a 50w, and because of that I only get about an hour of run time. If you want to run a higher wattage, you first need to find out if your battery run it for long enough. There is an equation you can use to see what your run time you will get for a halogen light.

Volts of battery x Amphours of battery / wattage of lamp = runtime

so.. 12V x 5.0amps/20watts = 3hrs

Most of the loop can be done without lights, but then you can pair up with other riders if you don't have a light when it gets dark enough.

I will have to back out on this one because my brother just wants to break in his bike on a mini loop around here. Maybe I'll catch you guys on the upper part.

Maybe we'll join you for post-ride festivities.
