Night ride is overstating it but I did ride home over the Downs. The shop to home off road involves a climb up to Cissbury and the subsequent down hill. I can think of worse commutes. Not far but it keeps the legs going and does keep the power up.

I wanted to test one of our budget lights. The NiteRider Cordless 250. It is awesome. Too often you hear a bunch of riders chatting as if is is the norm for every one to spend £500 or so to go night riding. Well there are a lot of rider who’d be struggling to spend that on a bike.  The light did everything that I wanted and for most riders it is cheap enough to get them started night riding.

The trails are really in stunning condition – get out there!
