First Night Ride

Just got back from my first time riding at night. I definitely could have picked a better night to ride, because it was a nice brisk 49 degrees. BTW, anyone who rides in the cold should pick up an Arctiva balaclava. Well worth the money.

I gotta say, I was quite impressed with the GZs head light. I rode with the high beam on most of the time, and I'd say its right up there with the lights on my car.

All in all riding at night wasn't as bad as I'd suspected. Other than a few stretches where deer like to run across the road it wasn't so bad. If I end up doing more night riding I really want to get a reflective vest, as well as some reflective tape to stick to my bike. I'm glad I did this, though, because now I'm not as uneasy (though still cautious) about riding in the dark.
