Dark at 7.30...pfffff

Bromski

I'm really down in the dumps.

Ive just been for a quick blast and I was struggling to see by the time I got back to the van at 7.30.

I have lights (BLT's) but they are only really good enough to use on the fireroads.

I spose I'll now have to consign myself that winter is here....

Spinning classes, anyone???

Yeah I totally know how you are feeling! Not long got back from a two week holiday mountain biking in scotland, and really got the bug back, but it just depressing seeing it get dark so early now!

It's crap I can only get a decent hour, hour and a half of riding in atm but soon it'll be getting dark at 5:30 - 6:00

boys boys just get yoursells a descent light as for every night ride you do earns you a nice day riding in the summer. besides it will enhance you riding faster then any amount of training will do

That does make sense - to join the gym for 6 months from October to April would cost me about £240 so I suppose I could spend it on lights.

Never seen any of the really top of the range ones in action.

If I could see some Lupine's or such like in action I would be more likely to part with the cash!

When do the clocks go back? It'll be even worse then

Think I'm going to hibernate.

I was alright tonight, went out on my bmx instead down to the skatepark. got a good hour in or more. save the mtb for weekends and my half day fridays (oooohhhh yesssss - and yes its a proper job thanks )

I'm blessed with a job where it's relaxed to being a "8 hours from the time i get in" situation. Since it's started getting darker early ive been rolling in at 8am to leave for 4, give it a few weeks ill be getting in at 7, then 6....
On this note, what are the good reccomendations for some sound trail lights that cost less than say... £100?

@bromski, are those 55£ beasts any good?!

smart thinking 8)

I ride my BMX alot more in the Winter, i go to my local skatepark (Cantelowes, NW London) which is flood lit by the football pitch next door until 9pm, and if its wet go to Bay66 in Ladbroke Grove (W London) which is covered by the A40 flyover

save the MTB for Sunday rides

they are fine on the fireroads and wider forest tracks but anything trickier and it's sketchy.

I got them for £45 from the LBS
