I'm guessing lights are required haha

[chop]

um yes they are.... You could try an led lamp that you mount on your helmet

i have a shit load of glow sticks as cheese is not riding that will leave a heap a spare red ones. Although there are a lot of yellow as well kids had the green ones and the blue well thats for mine. But i still need to sort out light. May be an old lantern. lol

is cheese not coming up with those cree lights?

We're keen to try a motorbike night ride at the sandpit, we already ride Wednesday nights at the MTB park at Woodhill and have sorted cheap, effective lights... We've found that you only need 20watts of power to see really well in the forest cause it's so totally dark. Our standard set up uses a Halogen 20w, 36 degree 12v 'daylight' bulb mounted into a plastic pipe joiner, an in-line switch, and a 4amp sealed lead acid battery for a run time of approx 2hrs. The pix below should be self explanatory..... The bigger light is 50w and requires at least a 7amp battery..... Lights are simply taped onto helmets and the battery lives in our camel packs..... These bulbs get very hot... so lots of cooling holes are needed......

The bulbs also emit a fair bit of light backwards, so I put a clear disk of red painted plastic on the rear for a 'freebie' tail light..............

TREE ROOTS ARE VERY HARD TO SEE IN THE DARK.....Ask me how I know..

[chop]

Thats quite trick. Whered you get the batt?

[clmintie]

I get the batteries from JCAR in Manukau 4amp..$42 'ish and the 7amp..$35'ish

[cheese]

Get the batteries from an alarm place, much cheaper.

I got some samples of those cree lights, but with this china trip being extended out and stuff I never got the chance to make them up. I even got a new bulb that puts out about 1000 lumens and draws 1.2 amps.

Anyway jet lag is hitting me like a bitch so I've got to try and stay awake......

and last time I was there I found some good hill climbs with little run up. They were nearish the car park and on that side of the road,I think. Any ideas where they are???

[oldguy]

weather not looking good for the weekend, hope the wind drops, thats more the worry than the rain.

[chop]

If you get up there in the daylight come for a ride with us and we'll show you where we like to play

Yes, the cook has the kai sorted.

We'll probably start cooking about 7.00 ish or earlier if need be.

Yes, the forecast looks like showers. This doesn't phase us at all as Woodhill and in particular our location has its own micro climate. How often is it pissing down everywhere else but once you come down the hill its like "Wow this is sweet"
As far as the wind goes well, this doesn't phase us either as we are really sheltered there and the trees give us heaps of protection.

What ever way this will be a bit of fun. Another wacky adventure by wacky people LOL.

Will there be a big screen to watch the Rugby?
