Lighting recommendations needed
Some friends have asked me, and I've agreed (despite the fact that I'm still looking for my inner goat) to join them on a cycling trip over Memorial Day weekend to Asheville, NC. We'll be covering part of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Some of our descents will include unlighted tunnels and I'd like to get a decent lighting system so that I don't kill myself or anyone else. Any recommendations? Price isn't necessarily an issue, but given that I don't otherwise ride at night, I would prefer not to break the bank.
Thanks,
Kate
By the way, I read an article last night in Bicycling Magazine about a tour company called Black Bear Adventures. They offer, among other less grueling tours, an "epic" end-to-end tour of the Parkway. Five days that average 95 miles and 10,000 feet of climbing each day. If I had the legs and lungs, that would be very, very cool. I checked out the website and really liked their offerings. It didn't hurt that many of the men who frequent their tours are, in a word, hot!

Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
