A 40 mile ride Wednesday night started at 8:30 PM and ended at just after 11:00 PM with a stop for hot coffee half way through the ride. After 10:00 PM there was hardly a car on the road.
Love, love, love a good mixed-surface ride at night. Paved and unpaved sectors linked together - cross country running trails behind the high school, Army Corps land and other wooded areas - with 1800 lumens blazing is a total blast.

Damn, that's a late start! The sun is setting shortly after 4PM now where I live, so, well, it's always dark, it seems. But man, that's a good ride! And yes, you can't beat a powerful headlight. No such thing as too bright for me.
How cold was it? Not too bad, I hope.
