Took off a little before 9pm for a Pugsley ride. Round trip from home with one complete loop with an extra spin around the little loop is 10 miles on the nose. Takes a bit over an hour. One limiting factor on my speed is my ability to see. I picked up an old NightRider helmet light from Craigslist. Its 10 watts of power work, but are a limiting factor on my rides.
I see about a 3' circle of light 20' feet in front of me as I roll the trail. I'm forced to keep my eyes out in front of me. I then let my body remember what I need to do ala zen.
I have a Magicshine SSC-P7 1200 lumen light on the way. These are supposed to be a good value at $57. Have to wait and see I guess. My light is currently in Singapore. Free shipping from China in 14-40 days. I'm hoping for 14.
The light comes with handle bar mount and with a headlamp strap. I hope to use it on some night ski runs as well. This is very similar to Jared's light which has worked well for him.
