These lighting advances have got me wanting to attempt some long night rides. Any of y'all done a dedicated night ride? What are the hours on the NCR trail? Probably closes officially at dusk,
but I'm still tempted to be a law-breaker and ride it anyway. Anyone been stopped by a ranger at night on the trail? -GB
Good luck w/ the light. Night riding is all about your car. If you can park it legal then chances are you'll be fine. If you have to use a regular trail PL then 'they' will know you are out there. I got a ticket for skiing at night at Patapsco park because my car was parked in a do not park at night spot. I rode the NCR trail on a full moon stealth trip a few years back. Lots of moon lite w/ a full moon, no light needed. Biking at night is a favorite of mine, streets empty all is quiet. This mornings commute was a blast back to mid winter, no sunlight at all, not even a hint. Still was nice even though the body was thinking it was 5:15AM
