    Night

    Since I bought my Cygolite, I've been wanting to try them out on the trails.

    The ride is planned for Saturday Night.

    Hopefully people can make it cuz I'd hate to ride alone while the Psychos are hiding behind the bushes...

    Fast?

    How fast am I? Well I like to enjoy myself on the trail. But knowing that my lights will only last me (dual beam) 1 1/2 hours, it gives me motivation to ride through the trail at a brisk pace.

    Imapodaddy-you originally posted about not wanting to ride solo at night b/c of the psycos hiding in the bushes.....well I rode the loop tonight solo and when I starting getting close to Laguna Lake there was a chopper circling and cops everywhere....your posted crossed my mind...hahah...turned out to be a missing 10yr old....I tried to wait til 530 but I had to take off early to avoid having to ride w/ some old friends that annoy me....
    Some spots were over grown soo high I am going to wear eye protection....clear lens at night...I got slapped by toooo many weeds

    Shu,

    We must have just missed each other. I waited until 5:32pm. I was actually there by 5:20pm. I saw the chopper you were talking about.
    I got locked behind the gate at Laguna Lake, luckily another rider was stuck too so we climbed the fence and gave each other our bikes.

    Sorry about that, I was trying to look out for a Mongoose.
    I was driving a Silver Hyundai. I did see your grey F150 in the parking lot once I got back.

    When I got to the dog park, I didn't see anyone resting there. I am assuming we were only minutes from each other.

    I hurt my wrist too back in January. I can't pull up on the bars too much or else it will hurt.

    I'll be commuting to work from now on, starting in Fullerton to Orange (next to the Block). That should give me a good 10 miles to burn each way, every day.
