I wanted to do a night ride but not be out too late so set off as soon as it was dark. Rolling up the trail it didn't seem dark at all so I switched off my light and yup - it was pitch. My new Cree3 light Dave made for me is the brightest thing ever. I scorched the eyeballs off a few coyotes and rabbits while I was out. I creep myself out riding in the dark solo. I keep thinking things are chasing me and want to eat me. The mp3 helps a bit with this. If I do get eaten then at least 'll be enjoying some good tunes. I have to be careful and not play anything with chasing and panting type noises in the song - that freaks me out real good. The Cree3 is so bright I can scan half the county for creatures and it has me rubber necking all over the place.
I tested run times yesterday alongside my Light and Motion light. My L & M is supposed to run for 3.5 hours but wimped out after 2.5 hours. My Cree3 shone bright for 5.5 hours -wow! It is lighter too. What a 24-hr weapon...
After sitting on my ass for a few days being a slave to my TSB my power meter is being kind to me putting out big watts with very little effort.
Feelin' the pedalin' love today...
