The nights wind blows on the back of a camels back.
 

Whooo!!! night ride!!! We got out on the road at 9:30. YES, I did wear a helmet. How couldn't I? We did a nice 10 mile ride, roughly, and all I can say is.... night riding is seriously one of the coolest things I've done. We both we're raving about how cool it was the whole time. The best part is the fact it's just... quiet. It's so cool you are instantly cooled down. My friend had a nice light that easily shined 40 feet off, mine.... yea it was crappy. We made due, put some flashers on my bike and he took lead. Quite a few almost bails, but we made it. :D

We made it to some switch backs. Right over this hill there are these huge bumps that almost belt you off the bike. We just stood up and let our knees take the shock.

We found out our road bikes were rideable on semi rocky terrain. My bike fell right into the sand, I still need to clean the grains of sand out of the shifters.

Made it to the beach and lit some of our fireworks.

Happy riders posing at 11pm. *yawn*

Your friend's bike looks really small.

Night riding is cool.

It is. We both were joking how my bikes are always bigger than his, and how mine fit him better. My mtb and roadie are more his size. He's 4 inches taller than me. :rolleyes:

his bike is too small AND he needs bibs.

night riding is fun. give it a year and you'll want a fixie to ride at night so you're TOTALLY silent and Ninja. it's cool.

My friends bike, and Siu's bike both make a clicky nose while pedaling, my bike makes absolutely no noise and I'm not sure why. Either way silent or not, with how loud we were talking It wasn't silent for long. :p

OH I forgot, while we were riding, I guess we pissed off a driver by being in the road. The lane was easily 10+ feet wide, he floors his gas acting all crazy and literally comes within 2 feet of clipping my friend, I kid you not. The draft of the car speeding up almost knocked him off the bike. The idiot had easily 6 feet extra space on the left side of the road, and he chooses to come that close to us. It freaked me out, because I saw how close the car came. Now I understand the crap roadbikers have to deal with. :eek:

Wait until a truck pulling two trailers or a bus does that. It's entertaining!

Sounds like your typical yahoo- you do get used to it, though. Just don't give in to the impulse to indulge in a rage-like behavior- that nearly always ends badly.

I was very angry, I wanted to follow him and slash his tires when he stopped. After what happened to that cal cyclist a week ago, I'm nervous and really don't like people acting like jackasses behind the wheel.

While night riding is fun, remember you're sharing the road w/ boozers, jackasses and hormone fueled kids who think they're infallible. Be visible and when you catch up to these JAMs, just pretend you took a pic of their license plate and that you're calling the police to report a drunk driver.

Luv night riding - either by myself or with a group.

Looks like a blast! I know my niteride Saturday was fun!

There ya go, Pheard, request granted, it's moved!:D

Where are the pink tights?

:(no pink tights?

Oh so it scares you, but then when I don't have em on you want more?

Fine. :mad:

:p

I didn't have em on because I didn't need them. I was hot just from what I had on.

Oh god BDG, what have you done?!? Don't encourage him....:D

^^ hehe
