Light advice

I went for my first cross yesterday, and learned two important things.

1. Cross is a blast
2. I need a much better front light

If anyone has advice on the best options for lights these days, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Being Popular on the Group Ride

Here is a short and sweet little description of the type of behaviours that make riding with Tripleshot so enjoyable. Of course, #2 doesn't apply to the A rides, but they are good folks nevertheless. https://cyclingmagazine.ca/spotlight/popular-person-group-ride/?fbclid=IwAR0i3ad9GpsH3q5EQ4KH5_E9Ru8...

Re: The Kit Vote is Live

Well done folks. I like them all...to the point where I would like to propose (tongue in cheek) that we follow professional football teams and go with three kits....home, away and 3rd.

I am happy to report that I just saw the recently absent Peter Lawless walking down the street in Victoria BC. So, I am pleased to announce that rumours of his demise is premature...as are the rumours that he is currently on tour with Justin Bieber. I am even more pleased to announce that he looked ...
