This is how it went:
1. Plan a ride Thurs night with a few friends
2. Cancel the ride due to snow/cold (wussy)
3. Decide to ride solo at night anyways and still freeze (tough guy)

Sometimes the best things happen when you don't plan and just do whatever pops up. After a HOA meeting this evening where I ended up being voted the Pres...I couldn't stand everyone else making up stupid excuses why they are too busy or whatever. That's ok...the joke will be on them when I'm deployed for 4 or 5 months and don't give a crap what the neighborhood looks like :) Anyways...the BST here in Kaysville is in great shape and it was an awesome ride. I finally cleaned the section coming out of the stream crossing going north...first time for me on that one! The views up there are super too! Here are a few pics before it got dark....

Didn't mean to sound like I'm some bad mofo or anything...you're right about it being cold. Get your light fixed so we can do some night rides - the view with the city lights is really cool. I was scared of the dark up there by myself too :2thumbs:

Good job toughing it out. It's usually worth it. :)

I ride with Nghtriders, and if you want to come ride with me I have a spare that you could use to see if you liked it? Let me know I am here in Layton so........lets go.

I am always down for a ride. I will let you know when I am free from work we are kinda busy right now with tax season.
Do you think a handlebar mounted light or helmet light is better?
