New Light! Gloworm

I have a new light thanks to the team at Gloworm lights! glowormlites

I have to say I was impressed with the entire package as soon as I opened it. Comes with a extra cord for the helmet, a bar or helmet mount, nice travel case , instructions, all the mounts( Rubber bands and velcro).
The light has a corded remote also... Nice touch.
The light head is nice and small, great for the helmet.
The battery is enclosed in a plastic case to keep to safe from the elements, It also has a fuel gauge on the end. Sweet!  No more wondering how much time you have left on the battery. I should mention that the battery is made by panasonic.

Progamable.. Yes! 
This light has a claimed 1200 Lumens on high.
Mountain biking you have the following settings, Dim 100 Lumen, Low 300, High 900 and what they call boost 1200 Lumens!
For the commuter : you have flash 700 lumen low 300, High 700 and Boost 1000

I will post a ride report soon as I get on the trail.... I hope will be very soon.

Helmets are good

Last night I had a Mountain bike crash.

We were riding a night ride and I went down a ravine on my way back up,
I had too much weight over my bars and in an instant I was on my head . Didn't even remember putting my hands out ,but I have the cuts on the bottom of my hands to prove it
I cut my left knee in two spots really good , broke my helmet( Lava rock is hard) . The helmet saved me from a lot worse head injuries.
My riding Buddy's Dan, Ben and Dan did some on the trail work on me and wrapped the leg.  I rode back down the trail and finally made it back to my car.

I heading down to the ER  where the cleaned me up,put stitches  into my leg and CT scanned my neck and head. Again I owe my lack of head injuries to having a helmet on.

Today, I'm sore some stitches in my leg, but no broken bones, No concussion .I know my head injuries would have been a lot worse if I would have not had a properly fitted helmet on.


The picture is where my head struck the patch of lava rock on the trail. As you can see the helmet took a lot of the force and did what it was designed to do.

Thank you Giro Helmet for saving my butt!
