Did his google (maybe not maps) tell him that he had to walk that way?
No it's probably the way his trousers hang.
Boom Boom

Tested out my new Ravemen 1600 today in the lounge to see what run time I would get. Accepting that it was indoors, and thus warmer than outside, full power gave up after 2:55 against a manufacturer quoted time of 1:35 - I'll take that.View attachment 561854
@chris-suffolk Hopefully you can read this. My bad, it's 2 hours on 1000 lumens.
The Fluxient, from Torchy the Battery Boy, is discontinued I think. One x 18650 - 2,600 battery lasted nearly to the end of the Dunwich Dynamo swapping between full and half power.
wound up going for it. fun is a matter of perspective I thinktrying to decide if I want to do it for fun late afternoon/dusk today/tonight, for fun
I didn't have a chance to react eitherThat's the downside of two wheels isn't it. When that front end goes no amount of bike handling skill will save the spectacular dismount from happening.
sadly no. it was an instantaneous smack-down. I was stunned & stayed motionless while I held my head w/ 2 hands evaluating the situation. it took a second, then everything seemed intactI hope you hit the ground as gracefully as your bike.
Actually another thing that bugs me about night-riding-in-the-forest are if i meet some unsavoury types.I have a forested area near my home that I am very familiar with. I think it helps, even if you are alone, to know the terrain. but yeah it's spooky. one night I could swear I heard "bigfoot" throw a boulder into the lake, across from me, breaking the ice. I heard rock on rock sounds, ice crashing & water splashing. couldn't imagine any natural cause. freaked me out completely. it was great
i can't imagine bunches of "unsavoury types" choosing to hang out in a damp forest of a night.Actually another thing that bugs me about night-riding-in-the-forest are if i meet some unsavoury types.
I wouldn't fancy being anywhere that hunters were hunting...met a hunter yesterday. he seemed nice enough. he shouldered his rifle as he saw me approaching
I have a Cateye Volt 1300. Having ridden many hours in the dark with it, I would sorely miss it.
I don't usually have both lights on, but occasionally it cheers me up to see how much I can see within the beams!I have a Cateye Volt 1300. Having ridden many hours in the dark with it, I would sorely miss it.
I recall being on a group night ride and being "domestique" to a rider struggling over a remote misty final climb. When we met up with the main group one of the riders commented they thought it was a car with a single headlamp coming over the climb.
I do for 2 bikes. haven't put them on yet. Saturday was a slush-fest, no ice, so no studs required (yet)Did you own spiked tyres at the time?
they're freaking everywhere, here in the US. thanks for the link!I wouldn't fancy being anywhere that hunters were hunting...
I remember what happened to Greg Lemond!
I knew what had happened to him but I hadn't read the story in so much detail before. He was VERY lucky to survive that, and it is amazing that he recovered and went on to win the Tour de France twice more and become world champion.they're freaking everywhere, here in the US. thanks for the link!
