Buff Posted July 2, 2007 Share Any locals keen on a night ride on Zevenwagt Wednesday evening?Looks like the weather is going to behave itself for a change.Probably leave around 6pm from Checkers again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_C50_ Posted July 2, 2007 Share Buff, If you're going to do that same route we did last time out you must be joking, right? I've got a dodgy little light which is just enough to be seen by (hopefully) motorists. If you've got a serious sh!t spare light lying around i'll consider it.

Buff Posted July 2, 2007 Share Light, who needs lights, it's full moon I normally skip the technical ST down the back and just ride up past the new SPA. However, I bought myself a Black Diamond Icon headlight (as in for your head) on Sat and I'm keen to trying it out. I'll be going out tonight to test extensively, so if you hear nothing from me tomorrow, send in the troops plz . btw, a guy that works with me built himself a bike light using the new LED Seoul (spel.) bulbs. They are mind blowingly bright... going to be building myself a set asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_C50_ Posted July 3, 2007 Share Buff, What time are you going to head out for Zevenwacht today? I'm going after work, will be leaving around 5H30. Following the same route as we did but going up to the tower, down to the Spa, and back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buff Posted July 3, 2007 Share Not riding tonight (my message was posted yesterday) but will be going for a run on the farm this arvie, around 5pm. Enjoy!Had a great ride last night, that new light worked way better than my old cateye, I was even able to do the older of the technical ST (not the section over the rock).

Will be heading out there again straight after work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buff Posted July 3, 2007 Share C50 - Yep, still gonna go riding tomorrow. The response has been poor to the night ride so I might take the afternoon off and enjoy the good weather with a trip to Delvera instead. CptDura - check out this link for full instructions. It does however mean you will have to import parts but it's fairly inexpensive due to size (small) (they post in envelopes) http://myfwyc.org/bikeled/DIY_LED_Bike_Lighting_Guide.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velouria Posted July 3, 2007 Share Promise to have one of these again sometime when I can attend? Sounds quite nice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_C50_ Posted July 4, 2007 Share Hey Buff, Did you remember to plaster up those nipples last night? ;-) Broke a spoke in my back wheel, AGAIN! Seriously pissing me off now, that's 4 now in the last 8 weeks or so. Need to take that wheel to Mark so he can sort it out. Are you still going out to Delvera today?

Buff Posted July 4, 2007 Share Hey C50, ... no need to, it wasn't that cold. Did fall my ass off running through the dump site though. Murphy's law, I pick up more roadrash while falling during a run than I have over the past 5 yrs of riding on the farm My daugter loved playing Dr. on dads wounds though.Beaut of an evening though! Yeah, take that wheel to Mark, it'll save you plenty of frustration. Maybe you just getting too strong, tell Mark to put in motorbike spokes btw, that was his wife I was running with... absolute running addict. Doesn't look like I'll be able to get out here early today so Delvera is out. Besides, my legs are feeling shattered, think I might be overdoing this running thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_C50_ Posted July 4, 2007 Share Well done Buff. Need diffirent tread on those shoes of yours? ;-) The weather was awesome. Pity i don't think about that when i'm getting killed by that hill. The view made up for it. The way my legs feel at the moment, i don't know about motorbike spokes. Feeling very "pap" at the moment. Very worried about sunday. Going today after work again, buckled wheel and all. Then i'll chill untill sunday. Oh, so it's Marks wifey that you ran with. You guys were motoring.

Mrs Colonel Posted July 4, 2007 Share You know - I can hardly a ride mountain bike in broad daylight!! I don't know how you guys ride at nightIf I did ride at night, the only difference would be that no-one would see me fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_C50_ Posted July 4, 2007 Share I manage to get out of Zevenwacht before it gets really dark. Takes me just over an hour to get from my house to the Spa and back. If i leave at 17:30 i'm back by 18:30, which is still fine. Last 10mins is on the roads. I left at 17:45 once and fell twice coming back down! Luckily it was on soft, sandy bits. And no one saw me fall either. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Colonel Posted July 4, 2007 Share You see - I'm also quite s-l-o-w...so I'm not going to chance getting out of anywhere early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
