Nov 28, 2001 5:57 AM | | turn off your lights and ride stealth for a little while. When the moon is bright and foliage not too heavy, you can actually see more of the trail without your light on. |

Nov 28, 2001 8:51 AM | | was a no light ride until we hit the downhill. Looked like we were riding on the moon. The moon was very bright in So Cal the temp was a chilly 48F. I love riding at night. |

Nov 28, 2001 11:20 AM | | There is enough light of the city reflecting off the clouds to see. |
| Winter is my favortie time of year to ride at night. | Twilight Error®
Nov 28, 2001 12:18 PM | | With a full moon reflecting off a thin layer of snow and no foliage on the trees to block the moon's light, there isn't any need to have the lights on at all.
I've also been know to ghost climb during the winter. Using the ambient light from the moon and stars, I can generally make my way up class 2-3 ice without a problem. I do carry a headlamp on my helmet for tasks such as setting anchors and ropework, but it is usually off during the climb itself. |
