  • Riding in winter this far north is very limiting as it gets dark extremely early. Exposure lights came to the rescue though with a couple of torches and I set out on my second ever night ride!

    Love night rides. Especially in the summer when it's 106F/41C+ during the day.

    That looked like a blast! Night rides are so much fun, it has been years for me.

    night riding really is exhilarating. i feel like your senses go into overload. a fast trail in the day, feels twice as fast in the dark at night 🔥

    I was thinking the whole time you need to lift your bike mounted light up.... good to hear at the end you picked up on the same thing for next time 👍

    This makes me want to go night riding! Its been years I even have a new light to test out. I like the side mount I could see having one on each side looking cool! Not that you'd need that much light though

    I'm a biker but also nature and wildlife lover. Night riding is super stressfull for nocturnal animals. I get the rush dough. Call me a party pooper

      What about driving a car through country lanes with the headlights on at night surely that had a similar effect, although I appreciate your less rural than you would be in a mountain bike trail.

      @@crdc9853 Indeed, animals are mostly bound to their territory and know roads where traffic is. Luckily people don't ride trails often at night so the stress is relative.

    Hello, Ali.
    Where is that trail.

    Would you call that trick a ‘bonehead’?

    Are you thinking about installing a permanent set of lights that runs off the bike battery? And if so could you record an installer guide?

    not because of the dark specifically.. but yes..
    als if you ride thru overhanging trees with fast enought flashing lights it's truly insane.
    I use $11 CDN amazon purchases and they USB C dual button 6 light... you'll find em.

    In the music biz getting payed by exposure is in most cases really bad idea, on other hand I wouldn't mind that set of lights 🤔😁

    Wow FairPlay Ali a few sketchy moments but you handled them well considering you don’t. know the trail and it was dark no offense to Ross and the others I know it’s the local trail but I think the mental. asylum needs to be re-opened because the speed they were going was mental😂😂
