I got this light about 2 weeks ago and it is very bright.

This is the light I purchased, but the cost was much lower at the time. Shop
around amazon.com for better pricing.

little more.

What do you recommend for great lighting? I seen some with helmet lights, do
you know where to get those?

Hey all!  Hope you are having a GREAT Monday.

For the next few weeks, before the official time change on November 3rd, the
daylight will be really fading fast after 6:00.  Sunset tomorrow should be
about 6:50.  As a cyclist, you really need your lights on BEFORE sunset, but
you can still safely see the road without a super bright light for a few
minutes after that time.

As such, for those that want to, we will plan on making a run up main street
for HALF the time from 6:00 to sunset, then turn around, so that we'd get
back to the Kannapolis research campus at about sunset.

We will then do "loops" until about 7:50 and then head back to Touchdown
Pizza.  Obviously, you need appropriate lights to be seen, but if you are
riding the Research Loop, you will probably want a brighter light; or at
least be sure you are riding with someone with a brighter light.

There should generally be several of us there with the really bright lights
and, if you ride behind someone with the really bright light, you can see
well enough.  Hopefully they'll put lights around the whole loop before
long!


For anyone on the mailing list unfamiliar with "doing loops" at the research
campus, let me just say it beats riding the trainer!  Effectively there is a
.9 mile flat loop at the Kannapolis Research Facility.  There is one Stop
sign.  There are some folks that ride the loop at 20+ mph and others that
ride it at 12 mph.  It is a GREAT way to start improving.  Maybe you
normally ride at 15 mph.  When the group comes by at 20, just jump on the
back and go as long as you can!  When you get tired, just sit-up, spin
slowly, and recover; they'll be by again in a few minutes!  (And, yes, that
is from first-hand experience.)

If you just want to ride with us at the research facility, feel free to park
there so that you do not have to ride from and to Touchdown Pizza.  YOU need
to feel safe riding in the dusk and dark with your lighting.

Anyway, hope to see you all tomorrow night.

Sincerely,
Sean E
