Solo Night Ride



Miles: 23.25
December Total: 268.58
Rides in the Rain: 8

I intended to join the Scott's Cycles group, but I was ten minutes late and missed the start. I guess that they headed north, so that is the way I went.

I never caught them as they had too much of a head start, so this is my first solo night ride. And since there was a light rain shower, I get to count it as a Ride in the Rain.

I had a good ride, but I am scared that vehicles will not see me. I have two red blinking lights visible from the rear. One is on my saddle bag and the other is on my CamelBack. I also have two white lights visible from the front. One is a three led CatEye light mounted on my handlebars set to blink. The other is a NiteRider Flamethower attached to my helmet. This is my light the road in front of me light. But, since it is mounted to my helmet, it lights up what I am looking at. So, I can "flash" any cars that may pull out in front of me. This does make me feel a bit safer.
