It doesn't get the best reviews, but figured for the price it's at least worth carrying in the pack for emergency's.

I've seen those on there before. I'll be interested to hear how it works for you.

It looks like they still have over 2000 of them so I am sure it will be up a few more times.

I learned the hard way when I didn't have a back up light...My Air Bike light failed on ride 1 last year. It was going on and off periodically, then just OFF. My car was at Stone, I was on B-Street. NOW, I always have at least a mini torch with a zip tie. When needed, I attach it to my helmet. Thankfully, I haven't had to do that yet.

I always carry a hiking headlamp in my pack just in case. I don't think I could do much riding with it. But it would be enough to get out of the woods

I still want to climb the Cornwall DH this year. You up for it?

Don't know what I was thinking but I ended up climbing it last night. It actually wasn't that bad, no stops and two dabs that could easily have been avoided with a little better line selection. I did however skip the nasty Blue/Green section on the west side of Cornwall Road opting to pedal up Cornwall and head left onto the dirt section of Miller Road.

Probably the worst part of pedaling up was worrying about some jamoke flying down the trail and running into me.

NICE JOB!! I hear you about worrying about people cruising down at warp speeds. I've never had anyone come down the trail as I was going up...but, I'm thinking that you'd probably hear them coming...chainslap, etc. due to the higher speeds.
