Aye, that does look shite. Let's not bother, unless forecast changes significantly.

Re: Friday night is nightride night! 2016
So as the nichts are fair drawin in, i thought I'd kick off the night ride season with a blast down at glentress.
so plan would be for Friday 14th October, meeting around 6.45-7pm in the carpark for the usual blue and red route mix.
anybody fancy it??

Good link that John!
I'd add battery packs can be the weak link when you buy a set of cheapo LEDs. To save money, they tend to re-package recycled cells from laptops. Worth investing in decent batteries (4 x Panasonic 18650 cells) and a waterproof battery holder. Higher the mAH rating the better.

Re:
Been for my 1st night ride of the season. Dug out the eBay Chinese Cree LED lights I bought about 2 years ago, still bright as feck! Still seem to hold their charge ok too.
Think they were £20 (with a free rear LED light! that's also still working).
GT is probably a bit far for me for a night ride though
Edit: these lights... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4000Lm-3X-CRE ... 3f5721f374
"waterproofed" the battery pack with tape, held onto the frame with the velcro strap and cable ties.
There's better lights out there now I imagine, LED's seem to keep improving all the time, but these were a bargain, lasted 2 years so far and are plenty bright enough for off-road riding, more like a car headlight than a bike light, certainly surprised a few people out on the trails this evening
