Fat Lad Has Seen The Light

How new tech is this, written from a pda waiting in our new offices for the construction crew to finish up.

Anyways… about 2 1/2 years ago (i’ll linkify later) I got some new lights and although they’ve performed really well it’s time to retire them.

Step in my new lumicyle hid jobby. They’re new, they’re powerful and most importantly they’re shiny. Sadly Mrs Fat Lad used her power of wifedom to nix the gold ‘pimp my mtb’ one, and I’ve got a more sensible black ones instead.

Piccies and feedback to follow post night ride…

Is what I was supposed to post earlier sadly blogger mobile was having none of it. C’est la vie!

However post ride. I’m now sat getting the warmth back into my chunky yet manly body. For it’s not even October yet and it’s bloody freezing. I’m over a stone lighter than this time last year and while pedalling away in these sort of temps previously would cook me like a cheap Chinese microwave; this year I’ve got three layers on and still felling a bit chilly.

Anyways back to the point. I do have one, honest. A little while ago I got my Fireballs. Due to an unexpected windfall from a utility company this saw me with some quality lamps with a good burn time. Sadly however they are starting to let me down more and more and with a loan from the local branch of Bank of Mrs Fat lad the boys at Lumicycle despatched the following very quickly indeed to me:

First impressions are quite simply amazing and the following is the illuminated trail of the entrance to Knife Edge.

They are very bright indeed, the claimed burn time is around 4-5 hours and I cant comment about that yet as we only blasted round for about 2 hours tonight.

It’s been a fecking cold night but when you get to see sights like below, you know what, its worth it.
