 The big animal .was that a cow? don't they sleep? Did you try to push it over? maybe that's a Canadian thingSmile
To turn night into day you need some serious lumens. Some of those lights are bloody powerful.
Hope you did not tear any flesh on those slippery rocks.

 Right on, those are cows.. this trail network is a series of cow tracks modified slightly and linked up into an epic loop.. cows make excellent trail builders with some major flow! Cow tipping sounds like a crazy Canadian thing to do.. never seen a cow sleeping!? No injuries on the slick rock. Thx man

 That is sweet. What kind of deadly animals do you have around your place? Wrote once to some bloke from Australia (no idea where from) and joked about funnel spiders, snakes and box jelly fish. He said: it ain't funny, you don't want to rest by the river around my place Big Grin

 I particularly liked the overtaking in the corners. Night rides kept me in biking when life got truly too full to deal with. Have had standing friday nights for nearly 20 years now. Amazing to see what some of my favorite trails look like in the daylight!

 That would be an interesting experience! I can imagine it would be like taking the blinders off of a horse.. Did you find it harder to focus on the trail in daylight than when you were riding by the intense focal point of your lights?

 World is a lot bigger with one light in the sky vs one on the helmet. Daytime riding allows for greater options for stupidity, since speed is up as are the consequences... though it is easier to anticipate the jumps and play places on the trail in the daylight.

 Spot on.. cane toads everywhere! Didn't realize how awesome night riding was, especially on the more pedestrian trails.. pretty boring in the day but bloody amazing at night!
