Last Wednesday my buddy Jon and I rode on the bike trail at night. We started out on the most southern part of the Little Miami Trail (Newtown) and up to Loveland. By the time we arrived at Loveland it was already 9:05 PM and sunset has just begun.
We adjusted our lights and rode back to our vehicles. By the time we arrived near Milford it was good and dark. Our lights provided us with ample visibility. I had my two Blackburn headlights aimed at different directions. One pointing down to cover up to 10 feet and the other aimed ahead to cover 20 to 30 feet.
It was quite fun riding at night with someone. If you're by yourself it's down right scary. We saw a deer and Jon rode too close to the edge of the trail and got wiped on the lip by an over hanging branch.
Speed wise we kept it around 16 to 17 mph. Any faster would be too dangerous with the type of coverage our headlights were giving.
