When I use less than 1000, I go fast too. Then i add a second light to my handlebar and go even faster.

That one is stashed in the pack for when the others die on long rides.

I like my Brighteyes 1600, which is good enough for the stuff I know well, like Main Divide and Motorway.
If I were to venture outside of my comfort zone at night, I'd want another unit...
I also have a cheap Amazon light that's a few years old. It sometimes turns off on bumpy terrain. That increases the pucker factor.

I know this is a derail (I'm getting good at this), but lets all give some thought to our charging techniques. A patient came in last week and told me he had a garage fire. He said he was charging some garage tool battery packs and something went south. Don't know any other details except that the fire caused over $100,000 damage. They say to charge batteries in a metal pail, but I don't know. Maybe we should start a thread in the Workshop on battery care (if there isn't one already)

Think I could borrow a light just for Thursday's ride? I still need time searching for and purchasing one. Thanks

I'll bring an extra light and handle bar mount too. You're good to go!

@horsebikerider has been inviting people left and right....you might end up with a somewhat larger group than you think.

Will be bringing lights. Not sure that they will be needed. Maybe just on the pavement outside the gate going back to the Tree Farm.

Oh no. Some of us are socially awkward.

This is the longest day of the year, so no lights allowed tonight!

The idea is to be at Beeks at sunset, meaning ride down in the dark. I'll leave the ride-by-braille stunts to other, abler riders.

Fine. I’ll ask the guys to blindfold you before the descent.The idea is to be at Beeks at sunset, meaning ride down in the dark. I'll leave the ride-by-braille stunts to other, abler riders.

If the traffic gods cooperate, I should be at the tree farm about 6:00.

Turn off Strava?

If not on time, just pedal faster. 6pm gives even me enough time to get there by 8:04 sunset.
Others could start at 7 and make it by sunset.

Is there any cell phone reception along the way?
It would be nice to see an on-the-spot report as things progress.
I plan to do a "Northern range Summer Solstice ride" myself.
