Volt 50 and Volt 300

Today's the first time I used both my Volt 50 and Volt 300 on a late evening road ride with some dark canal path segments.

I found it easy to switch modes on the Volt 300, using the flashing mode on the road and the full beam when I went into the unlit sections. The unlit sections were brief but I was surprised by how much of the terrain ahead I could see with the narrow and powerful beam.

The mount for my 50 is still broken and there still doesn't seem to be a spare to order, so after a few bumps in the road it would start to point upwards right into drivers' eyes. I'll bodge it with an elastic band next week!

Xmas ride results

In total I managed 160km (approx. 100 miles), scuppered by dangerous high winds and other commitments interfering with the last legs.

Well, it's a new year so time for a new goal! How about riding 100 miles in a single day by the end of the year?
