    Lightbulb Night Ride: Sylvan Island ~8:00PM Wednesday 9/1/10

    Night ride this Wednesday at Sylvan Island. Meet in the parking lot around 7:50 PM and we will leave around 8:00. Experience one of the areas more technical trail systems while providing your own illumination.

    My brother will probably also be there doing the photography:

    Have you seen the forecast? It's a long shot, but I'll bring my bike.

    Plan on riding Friday night if we get too much rain over the next few days. Ride time will not change.

    Probably in the middle of the helmet if the helmet doesn't interfere with the beam. If the light is too far forward and is heavy it can strain your neck.

    We are going to have to postpone this ride until Friday as about 1.6" of rain fell last night and even Sylvan doesn't dry fast enough to ride tonight.

    After discussing, we will hold the night ride THURSDAY SEPT. 2.
    There is already the 3rd Taming tune up going on, so hopefully more people can come.
    Come out and get tuned up, go get some grub, and come back for a night ride.

    See you tomorrow!

    correct. There were a bunch of people out there for the tune up, but it started raining on us, so we left. We'll try again some time. Mother nature doesn't want us to have any scheduled rides this year.
