So, I've been asked by a number of people, "how do you see at night during your 24 hour races." I found this picture off of the AY UP Lighting Systems website (www.ayup-lights.com). This is what I see during the 10+/- hours of night riding during my 24 hour races. The AY UP Lights basically turn the night into daylight. In my last 24 hour race in which I placed 1st in my category (Pro Solo SS) but I also finished first overall, my lap times didn't drop much at all during the night, thanks to the eye searing light thrown at the trails. I run the handle bar lights with the larger (Epic) battery and the helmet lights with the lighter (Half Epic) battery. The combination gives me hours of night riding without any worries. I can even get more life out of the batteries by using the low beam settings. I am thoroughly pleased with my V4 Adventure Kit. Not only are the AY UP Lights great lights, but the customer service you'll find is second to none. They really know what they are doing. If you're considering getting some lights, you won't go wrong with AY UP.
