2.5 hours riding through the Dusseldorf forest. We got some good single track, XC and trails. I had a head mounted Cat Eye. (When I say head mounted I mean that I used some duct tape to secure it!) this gave me about 10 ft of vision wich equated to 1 second reaction time. The ride was the best yet. Very thrilling and got the adrenalin going.
I only had one fall and that was dropping off the edge of a bunker on a golf course!

Night-riding over a golf course!! I hope your tyres got a good grip on the bits of grass they mow short. You really need to dig in over those patches.

It has been -2 for most nights so the ground and sand was frozen solid! It was like riding on ice. 4 ft long power slides!
