Dunnon Full Moon- Sportive 2016

[San Miguel Injury]

Just wondering if anyone from the club is doing this sportive?

I have entered and would appreciate any advice from those that have done it before.

Make sure you have lights?

Hi Alan,

 

I've not done this before, but know of people who have - I think Allan Mclaughlin & Andrew Dunn etc did it last year?

 

Like Darryl said, lights (front & back) are essential of course!

Make sure you get proper front lights that allows you to see where you're going rather than the ones that only let other see you (but I reckoned there won't be much traffic at that time of night) maybe even a back up light just in case or spare batteries (but most lights nowadays are USB charged) as the ride is relatively long.

 

I think a head touch might be a good idea just in case you have a mechanical in the dark & it allows you to see what you're doing.

 

But be aware & prepare for the dreaded midges, when & if you stop for whatever reason. they'll try to kill you   

 

Anyway, have a great time & tells us all about the ride after please.

 

Cheers

Thanks Darryl and Chung for the advice- Lights are seemingly a mandatory two at the front and two at the back, of 500 lumens.

Midges- might be okay for some protein on the way round!!!!!

Few weeks ago Aldi had 1200 lumen lights for £30, worth checking if they have any stock left

Thanks Jan- I'll look into it.
