Oaks trail night ride

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Hi All,

I did a night ride a few months ago with a group on the Oaks trail and thought that i might organise one for the folks here. I find it a much more interesting trail at night time, but chilli at the moment.

I thought I would plan this in advance for a late August or early September.

Mid week Menai NIGHT ride

Below is a preview, click to read the full post
When: 
Wednesday, 28 October, 2009 - 19:46
Ride Database Entry: 
Menai (Lucas Heights)
Meeting Point: 

By the sports field on Old Illawarra Road, Barden Ridge.

-34.037591,151.006672 (Old Illawarra Rd)

Menai.. at night.. A bit technical in places, a few pinch climbs here and there and some good flowing sniggle.

Not the ride for a beginner as it can be tricky in places, good lights will be needed and body armour is /optional/ advised.

Best thing, we ride at the pace of our last rider so this is a great way to stay together, see the animals out and about and most importantly not be worried about if this group is going to disappear into the distance. We're out to enjoy the "special effects" that night riding is all about.

You know this ride by now. A bit technical in places, a few pinch climbs here and there and some good flowing sniggle.

See you there. Pm me if your still not to sure..

Roadies: check your lights!

Almost hit a couple of brothers (cyclists) while driving home at dusk yesterday. One wasn't wearing a light and the other had some bees dick useless light. Sure, i'm glad there wasn't an incident, but i see riders with no lights or a lot with really tiny lights all the time and it's frustrating. It's unfair to drivers. It would be hard to blame a driver that hit a rider in such circumstances. Please, if you ride on road at night, look at your lights from a decent distance some time and see if they are actually effective (big and bright).

"Aussie" Moonride...NIGHT RIDERS!

For all the keen night riders out there ...

For the last 10 years the Kiwis (!) organised a fantastic "Moonride Festival"...

Sounds like a lot of fun!

See http://www.moonride.co.nz/ for details and videos...

I'm gauging interest for a similar event - here in the beautiful nightlife of the Kuringai/Garigal woods...(we can start small - the kiwis limit theirs now to 390 TEAMS...)
