Pre-dawn riding - a little nervous

[Owlie]

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.

Thanks for sharing Catrin - sounds like you had a great experience. You've also inspired us to give it a try

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?
