Bike lights help please

What’s the latest on Bike Lights folks?

I have the of Deal Extreme 1600 lumens Cree T6 for bars and helmet mount. Lightweight lithium battery with a long life. Very bright but very narrow beam, so only good on helmet.

1. Any recommendations for a wider flood to be mounted on the bars?

2. Mine doesn’t seem to exist on the DX site any more so any similar recommendations?

25th Jan 14 – Oak Tree Inn – Year 5!

So what’s everyone doing in January 2014. Feeling fat, bit like sloth? Can’t be bothered , need an incentive to get yer butt moving?

Well fear not! I have the perfect solution!  It’s our 5th Anniversary of the Oak Tree Inn ride! (http://www.oak-tree-inn.co.uk/)

Yup we have been granted permission to descend again (quite literally off the top of Conic..) to the doorstep of Oak Tree, Balmaha, welcomed in by a warm fire, cold beer a feast of food and good banter. When that all gets too much you can rest your weary head on the pillows of Oak Tree and awake refreshed for breakfast and a cycle home.

What could possibly be better? Now the details – if you’ve read this far your definitely interested. 🙂

Club lakes weekend – not so good news

After coming off the garburn pass on Saturday, we were planning on heading up gatesgarth pass, but Graham started to feel unwell, and decided, very sensibly, that he couldn’t carry on.

I don’t wish to go into any details, as it’s not my place and I don’t think a public forum is the place to be broadcasting anyone’s situation, but he ended up being taken to the hospital in Preston and it looks like he will be there for a number of days, maybe longer.

I don’t wish to alarm anyone, but Graham has a lot of friends in the club, and I just wanted to keep people posted. I’m sure everyone will join me in wishing Graham a quick recovery.

All the best folks, and ride carefully.

Greg.
