    Night rider

    Went on hike yesturday in the Cascades and got off the hill at dusk. I had the choice of riding 120 miles on the interstate or a two lane highway back home. It was 10:20PM.

    I chose the highway mainly due to droning on the interstate I've been on too many times.

    I chose a secondary highway I know well. I don't particularly like riding at night and try to avoid it, but carving corners is more fun than droning on the interstate.

    Wondering if any of you have found the light between the high and low beam? I'm using the 60/100 halogen and find this beam lights up more of the road especially the peripherial. Not as bright as high but broader and not so far ahead. A little yellow in color actually made the ride quite fun.

    I could comfortably ride 6/10ths pace and see both shoulders on the sides of the road and then some beyond. Hardly any cars out and the tone of the Kerker echoing off the guardrails and hillsides.

    A pleasant night ride.

      Sounds like a great time.
      Night rides are our favorites. Especially along the ocean 8) 8)
      The spot in between low and hi really does work wonders at night. :twisted:
