Jump to: Newest in thread
Was out last weekend but may give it a miss this weekend. There's still ice here in the shade and it's early afternoon.
Don't fancy coming off on it and breaking something. Mostly likely me not the bike  |

Can you use the old 5 mile lane as a cycle path these days?
I have a road bike knocking around here somewhere, quite like a vale loop in the summer. |

Sounds ideal, I’ll be sure to dig the road bike out. |

"Any one here do any night rides? What lights do you use? "
I used magic shine but there are loads of makes about.
Ideally you want 2000 lumens on the bars and 1000 on your lid.
If you have lights on bars only it’s hard to see around corners. |

As said above plenty of decent led lights around now that aren't very expensive. There's videos on YouTube about it.
But basically you want a flood light on the bars and a spot light on the helmet. |

So guys and girls. It looks like the weather is getting better so who is looking forward to getting out more. Maybe a meet up would be good? Where would people like to go? |

"The trails could actually do with a bit of rain ha"
Yes trails are getting rather loose and rough. Also just heard there's fires on the Rhigos above Glyncorrwg so not sure I'll be riding there this weekend. |
