Had a great night ride with Moe & Bryan on the Fullerton Loop. It was my first time riding at night and it was a blast!
I rode my Gary Fisher X-cal 29er. Moe rode his K2 with the Sweetskinz tires and Bryan rode a hardtail Diamondback that he built up himself.
I got to rock the new Optic Nerve (nerveusa.com) Savant glasses too. I used the clear lens and I have to say that worked great. Most times I forgot I had them on.
Below is a picture me & Bryan with the glasses still on. By the way, Bryan has never ridden the 29er so he took mine for a quick parking lot spin. He’s considering building up a single speed and I told him that the 29er is the way to go.
If you look carefully, you can see the Sweetskinz (sweetskinz.com) on the K2 in the background. The reflective parts of the tires look pretty cool.
We didn’t get any pictures while out on the trail mainly because Moe & I were huffing along trying to keep up with Bryan, the machine. He’s a machine because he can climb the hills as if he were doing the flats. Ridiculous power to weight ratio.
Lastly, got to thank RL for the Cygolite LED (cygolite.com) he let me borrow. The light was a handlebar mount (which has its positivies & negatives compared to a helmet light). The LED was surprisingly bright, very light & best of all, it didn’t fail me all night. Thanks RL.
