Obelisk it is...Keep your eyes peeled for late night crack heads, although they could even be on the crank. If I'm ten mins late or something, fear not, I'll come wheezing up the hill like a Sopwith Camel at some point...

Tonto.. Nightrider was great.. very well organized with a really interesting and technical course.. We did however underestimate our sleep requirements lol.. and that killed us.. I think I managed 5 laps of 12k plus a practice lap.. as part of a 4 man team. The solo winner did 21 laps on his own?????? Madness. We will do something similar soon but will be better prepared next time for sure.

Pete see you there.. my new lights are uber bright so I should be able to blind any oncoming crack heads Smile

Good ride....True to say the the trails are different in the dark and a surprising number of riders out late too. Won't mention the over the bars moment....The thought of riding through that horse muck proved too much so there you go...
Nice one Lefty, Here's to the next night ride.
Latte.

Yea nice one Pete was good fun... apart from my bog snorkelling and being attacked by a baaazillion caterpillars. The trails do really take on a whole new character at night.

Im keen to do another so anyone up for one next week let me know.

Ill post it up as a separate ride in the forum.
