Hi

I will be keen, any good/cheap ideas on a lighting systems. I do have handle bar mounted lights but haven't ridden forest tracks in the dark yet.

Also we need to check with landowners with regard to the possum hunter.

you can get some head mounted lights for around $100. Depends on how much you want to spend. I am hoping to get regular night rides set up through the club so that we meet every Tuesday nite at 7.30pm at the gate. I was speaking to Neil M about it on Sunday and he also seemed keen for a regular night ride on a Tuesday night. I dont think it will be to much problem with the pest control guy as it will be the same time every Tuesday night.

No sweat I will check with Peter Beeching (Pest control guy) I can not see a problem. Rode the tracks as a night ride recently - Awesome! Corners come up fast in the dark! I will add to next email also.

Permission For Twilight/night Rides In Rawhiti

Postby arwensdad on Thu 5/Oct/06 8:50pm

Peter Beeching has given approval to conduct twilight/night rides on Tuesdays in the Rawhiti MTB Park. Please note that same rules apply and of course a good light helps! Wot time r you chaps and chappesses keen to meet on Tuesdays? Does 7.30pm suit? This would allow for a 2hour blat around the block with a bit of darkness towards the end.

Check with Spokes and Whakatane Cycles for good deals on lights.
