Winter Evening rides

 

See https://www.cyclinguk.org/blog/why-i-love-night-riding for a CTC article on what winter evening rides are like.  We will stick to lit roads and paths, with the exception of the eclipse where we need a dark spot.

Report
Fri 7 Feb 2020  Jim
97% full moon  Head for the arrows near the mouth of the Esk in Musselburgh.

Nice enough night and great to see 6 riders.  We saw the full moon early in the right, but it clouded over at the rendezvous point for good. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the whole way was lit, including the arrows (but that was security lighting).

Fri 10 Jan 2020 Jim Penumbral Eclipse Head for the arrows near the mouth of the Esk in Musselburgh.

A horrible night! Winds gusting to 45MPH and rain, quite cold too at 7degC + windchill.  2 stalwarts attended, and we shortened the ride to Portobello. Moon was hard to see, but you can just make out a fuzzy blob above the tower in the Strava photos.
