Itinerary:
Let's do a real trail at night. GREAT conditions out there right now, Wednesday should be 14C or so and the conditions should be great. And this trail is pretty close, so not a huge deal to get out there.

You'll need fairly decent lights for this as it will be quite dark after 7:30-7:45. Ideally 10W or greater or something 500 lumens plus. Ideally a couple lights so you have a backup in case of technical problem.

We'll probably do a loop on the North side of the parking lot, about 15.5 kms and ride for approximately 2-2.5 hours.

We were out there today and yesterday and it is super conditions.
