Anyone up for a bit of nocturnal activity on Thursday night  Earliest I can make it is 1730. Not fussed if the majority want to meet later, as long as we are back at the carpark in time for some hot food/drink at the cafe. As for route again I'm easy Blue/Red/Blk what ever. |

Can't do this one at the mo. I've got a £10 cannondale front led. I wouldn't see a feckin rhino's arse from 3 foot with it. ;D |

I did Llandegla in the dark last night, bloody marvelous!
Think they've changed their official night rides to Wed's now.

What route did you do? I only stuck to the blue in the dark last year as I was riding on my own. That was scary enough  Can't wait to try the Red/Blk this year  |

Ummm I'd check with them rather than what's on the website (which I find can be a bit 'wrong'). One of the blackboards (there are several around the forest) proclaim that Wednesday is the new Thursday from end of October, but next Thursday should be OK. I did my first ride round Degla in the dark on Tuesday (think Caz posted about it in her welcome/recipe thread ), not entirely sure I'm confident enough for red in the dark buit I could make it up there Thursday and at least do blue  |

I'm hoping for they have Wednesday night late night hacking, splits the week up nice. plus i cant do thursdays  gotta try me hope LED lights soon off road but they are a year old now so probably now classed as 'adequate at best' / obsolete at the current rate these LED lights are going. |

Bah, having had someone plough (literally) into the back of my car today I'm unlikely to be out this week (would normally be up there tomorrow and Tuesday).

I've just spoken to the guys at oneplanet and they have informed me that they will be swapping to Wednesday nights for the official night riding when the clocks change for winter.
So we are ok for this week on Thursday but as of the 29th October, wednesday will be the only official late night ride. The cafe will also be open late on a wednesday.
Hopefully wednesday will suit more people and we can make it a regular event right throughout the winter months.

I can do Wednesdays (probably not every week tho) but it's normally 6:45 before I can get up there. What time do you stay until? I'm normally on my way back home by about 8:30 but I don't stop if I'm riding on my own |

We've not done any regular night riding up Llandegla so I guess we'll just play it by ear and settle on a time that suits the majority.
Can you make it this Thursday?

Yeah I can do this Thursday. I've not done the black in 100% darkness yet.
We can sort out times for definite on Tues/Wed(/Thurs).
Edit: When I get to the end I think they've normally stopped doing hot food so don't worry about me if you're gonna miss tea!

What time can everyone make it for? Thistle if your a definite I don't mind waiting a bit, whats the earliest time you can make it. Personally I'd like to be riding for 1800, but I don't mind making it later if it means more people can make it I've mounted my new Hope Fours on my Lid and run around the garden a few times (It's ok neighbours are used to me by now ;D). The light output is awesome. Can't wait to try them on the trail |

"Guess I must be trying then"
