| It
may sound treacherous but with the proper equipment and some common sense,
a night ride could be the most fun you've had on your bike in quite a
while. |
|
The
dark adds a whole new dimension to the off road experience. There
are new sights, like deer bedding down for the night; new sounds, like the
hoot of an owl; and new smells, like the damp evening air. |
|
Until
you are used to your field of vision being dependent on your light beam,
the ride will be slower but more technical. Picking a line becomes
more of a challenge on all but your most well-known trails. |
|
Do
some research and choose your lights carefully. Wattage and battery
life are critical. And remember, once the sun goes down the
temperature drops. Dress appropriately. |
