    [RC] Riding in the Dark - Maureen A. Fager

    I have ridden the dark for the last two years and have never used a light. There is lots of ambient light from cities and roads where I train. I'm only on roads for less than a mile and they are very quiet neigborhood type roads.
    I have finished several rides in darkness, done one "night owl" ride and one 100 mile ride, all with out a head light or even a glow stick. (The 100 mile ride was under a full moon and clear night, and I did have glow sticks with me, but didn't need them :-)

    The point here is lights are optional. Of course, if one is riding on public roads with traffic, lights and reflectors are a saftey issue, but I have found lights are not always needed on the trail, whether training or at rides.

    That's what works for me.

    Happy Trails,
Maureen
Reno, NV
