Jotto Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Usually Wednesdays but lately I have seen rides called on a Thursday. where can we put our names on the list. is there an email list
Jotto Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Our club usually has a nightride one evening every week along the Spruit. the club you belong to
RockCoach Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 where can we put our names on the list. is there an email list No email list. You have to know the secret code to get the sms. No one has called a ride in a few weeks now but I'm sure we can get a few hubbers together and start a night ride from Fratelli. I will still be off the bike for a while so count me out for the next few weeks. I am happy to organise it though...
manbearpig Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I often wonder about events where one also rides in the dark. Is that because the participants prefer it that way? I would very much like to do Baviaanskloof one day, Lomar looks stunning, but personally I think of that part of the world as wanting to be "experienced". I battle with really enjoying the surroundings while it's dark. Many events nowadays contain some riding at night. Am I the only one who would have preferred it differently?No it's cos that big ball of fire in the sky goes behind the hills in the distance.
Jakes20 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks for the replies. Some of the posts make the night-riding thing seem inviting.i think I might just give it a try. Riding in known terrain seems ok, but thinking back about something like Epic I'm kind of glad we could ride accompanied by that big ball of fire.
Bike Lore Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 easy just get a Pyro2000 and you will never ride at night again. "daylight cycling...by night"
andydude Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 As was mentioned, you're going to find it difficult to find enough daylight to do a 24h ride! Perhaps in the North Pole in summer, but that brings different challenges. Most races are done in the day/morning. It's only the longer endurance type races that goes into the night, not because they want to, but because they have to. I love night riding. As well as night scuba diving. It's just something very different.
