"Let's strap on the bright set of lights and have a adrenalin filled off-road spin up in the mountains!" We've had a brilliant night ride tonight with my friend Csaba. The weather was more than perfect to go up to the mountains even the sun was down already. First we have climbed the Kilmashogue Lane climb and we have crossed from the Kilmashogue car park to Ticknock.
The fire road climb was all right, nice and steady but the fun began on the top of the Bone Shaker. We hit the new trail that leads back to the upper car park. It might not be too techical at day light but I'm telling you it is quiet serious at night. All the little drops seems smaller than they truly are and you don't see more then couple of meters ahead of the front wheel! Fun-fun-fun!
After the exciting downhill bit we got back to the Ticknock car park we have decided to head home because the weather got cold and windy also. We have covered 30km of distance in 2 hours. I haven't ride at night time for a good while now but it was so much fun I'm sure I'll be doing spins at night more often. If you haven't tried it yet, you should give it a go for sure.
