Had an awesome 25 mile ride! Didn't really need the headlight, though I used it and after sunrise put it on flashing. It was fun to watch the country wake up! I am not sure my headlight is actually bright enough for use in full country darkness so am going to have to experiment with my lighting options prior to October, but it was fun.
Thanks for the encouragement!

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but...
I'm planning on doing a crack-of-dawn ride tomorrow or Wednesday. BF still has my tail light. I'm planning on doing a trail ride. My head light is with me. Think a red glow stick zip-tied or creatively duct taped to the seat bag is a reasonable sub for a tail light? I'd be using it for "hey, I'm here!" purposes, for any other cyclists on the trail.
Of course, if I go on Wednesday and can get to the bike shop tomorrow, no biggie.At least I don't leave slime trails.

It was a lot of fun - and now I am inspired to try and head out earlier, try true night riding. In baby stages
Owlie, I've no idea how bright that glow-stick would be - but would you be out on the trail in full darkness, or more like the pre-dawn somewhere-in-between like I was?
