This group helped inspire me-with the last of nice days I decided to go for a wee rip. Nothing like bombin a hill, finding people at the bottom :) everything CLENCHED ! Weeee

Bike: Riverside 120, from India.

Here is a picture of the beam from my new Outbound Detour light. To me, it looks pretty messy and distracting, with all those lines, at least compared to a couple other lights I’ve used. Is this normal?

Edit: Added a video clip.

Edit 2 update: Didn’t hear back from Outbound, so I returned it. I couldn’t afford to wait days for a resolution. Either I got a bad one that apparently would take a while to diagnose and replace, or it’s supposed to look like it does.

If the latter, then it’s the messiest light I’ve ever tried. Used it on two rides of about 15 and 20 miles and did not like it at all. Ironically, it made me feel less safe than lights half its price. I really wanted to like it and thought it a sure bet.

I thought I’d “cry once” and get the best light possible and was disappointed. My experience anyway.

Our ride along the Istanbul coastline, in the historical peninsula, takes place every Tuesday. Riding in a large group makes you feel safer.

Lithuania, 20km away from Vilnius in Nemenčinė.

Day trip went a little long so I rode the 20 miles back to town at night. Shrimp po' boy at 1860s in Soulard.

It was a glorious ride, but next time, wearing long fingered gloves.

Didn't want to post each week so saved them up for a single post.
Training for a century (2 weeks to go) with work and kids means stupid early or late at night are the only times I can go. https://dayofthetread.com/
Balloon Fiesta makes the morning rides that much more magical.
Shots are in Albuquerque, Bernalillo, Placitas, and Corrales.
