Winter Evening rides - completed

 

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.

 

 

Completed Winter Evening Rides

Report
Mon 9 Mar 2020    Full moon  Head for Crammond and Leith

Foul weather again, and only 2 attendees again. we basically did a pub crawl, and thank God we did! just a couple of weeks later, the world fundamentally changed and it is not currently possible 31/3 to have this kind of ride or even to have a beer in the pub.    https://www.strava.com/activities/3169545032

The seven bold adventurers who attended these winter rides have seized the last chance, although they didn't know it, to do group rides in the evening for some time.

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.
