Night ride up to Santiago Peak (Cleveland Nat. Forest)

For any of you folks in the OC/LA area...I am doing some night time riding tonight after work. Going to put my Squadrons to the test.

Will be entering through Maple Springs gate on the OC side at around 7:30pm. Will be riding for about 1-2 hours. Let me know if you want to join. I think some inmates from ADV Rider are going, but I have never met them before.

You're going to love the Squadrons in the woods at night. Another forum member and I were riding in the Smokey Mountains last fall, and did just that. Ended up accidentally chasing a black bear down the trail for about 1/8 of a mile.

Well, got to try out the Sqaudrons in the dark. They are ridiculously bright as everyone knows. On my ride I should have adjusted them out further.

A lot of light was thrown further, but the cam footage makes it look like it is right in front of my tire. I think it is a by-product of the helmet cam sensor accentuating the light splash. I need to spread out the light, too, to the sides.

I also need Jaxon to fix me up with some handlebar lights. More light...more light...
