That’s crazy. I also headed out for my first true night ride in the area last night since moving to Pentagon City in June. I figure it will be necessary considering when I get home from work and darkness creeping in earlier and earlier. I also followed the same basic route as you but I was a tad bit little earlier.
I currently use a cheapie “be seen” type of headlight but it’s clear I will need something brighter if I am going to be doing any night riding on trails. Any recommendations, preferably around $100?
Also besides the ninja joggers, the scariest part was on the MVT several types going south I was blinded by oncoming traffic on the GW.
