Gemini Lights

I have some Gemini lights on the way,http://gemini-lights.com/home to be honest  I can't wait to get them out on the trails.
I've been riding with a Niterider Trinewt for the past two seasons. This season I decided I really need an addition to the Trinewt or just upgrade, but I can't see my self spending $500 plus on a light.. I did look at the Niterider1200, Pretty sweet light.
After looking on the web for sometime I decided on the  Gemini Titan. I couldn't beat the price, the warranty looks good and if it performs like the Magicshine lights then I know I make a good choice.
I have about four friends who run the Magicshine lights and they couldn't be more impressed with the beam pattern and light output on the trail.
I plan on doing a write up when I get my hands on the Gemini Lights.... Can't wait

Update....Light came today and I'm impressed! Packaged very well and has a nice case to store the light in.
I charged it and played around a little today and the first thing I noticed was how damn bright it was.
With the rain today I hope to out on the trails in a day or two, so I will give you a full ride report.

Oroville

Daniel and I were able to get a ride in today in Oroville. Turned out to a great day to be out on the trails.
Super fast and tacky with the rain yesterday made for very fun single track. We made our way back on a service road that seemed to never end.

Well the rain is back.....

The Tue and Thur Rides are still going even though the park is closed. We ride out side the park or travel over to Oroville where the trails never close. Don't let all the rain stop you from getting out.




What do you like to do when the rain is falling?


I'm planning on getting a Go Pro and posting more local videos on here.

Here is a picture of some of the guy's getting out for a night ride.

Bicyle suspension

Getting the most out of your suspension is knowing  how it all works together.

Rain is back

Well since the rain is back the only option is riding in Oroville.
I know a couple of people suggested doing the Tue night ride over there since the park will be closed.

We hear that that section of Middle is looking smooth and fast...Can't wait to get my tires on the section.

It was a Great night to be out in the park, Temps were good , trail tacky and fast
