I have lived in Mamaroneck for a couple years and have been riding at night -- ALONE -- and I believe in the motto: "Safety in numbers." I have the NiteRider Flame Thrower (HID) w/ the NR tail light (bright LEDs) so I feel OK, but would like the added motivation / safety of having someone to ride with.
I tend to hit the road between 8:30p-9:00 and generally do the same 2hr loop up King St., then pass the Kisco Res. and back to MMk via White Plains. I'm looking to get a second light for the helmet for some dirt rides and would even think about some night MTB rides with folks if interested.
In a former life I started off in the juniors in Denver and raced w/ Vaughters, Killen, Wherry, Colby Pierce...etc. Unlike them, I never made it past the 3's... and now I am a dad with a 60hr work week and am looking to keep sane and moderatly fit, which is to say I'm not going to hold anyone back (I hope) but my intent is to increase the frequency of my week-day rides. I lived in Bklyn for 6yrs and could ride 3-4 nights a week at Prospect Park, but Westchester/CT seem to challenge me more b/c of the traffic. And getting a flat 20 miles from home is different than being 4 miles from home and able to take the subway home (like Bklyn).
Cheers.
