The Winter, the Snow and the Darkness


Around here it's not only winter, it's also dark most of the time. I mounted two sets of lights and the GoPro onto the handlebars of my Hot Chili Zymotic hardtail. This video was made in my garden in the late afternoon.

Here we have just about 9 hours daylight brothers.

So, at 3.53pm it's already dark Manny? No wonder you have those potent lights to ride.

Once myself and three other friends went riding on a DH trail with 9km at 10:00 pm only with lights to show us the way! It was, at this time, the most adrenaline pumping experience so far!

At night you realize how important your eyesight is, a nightride with friends can be great fun, especially in the summer, RideOn!!!
