Out on a lamplit ride with the Oxford section of the V-CC last night.
Riding fixed for 28 miles in total on my 'Rochester'; pictured here near Rokemarsh, en route to the start.....
I did 10 miles in the dark using my 'Supra Luxor' candle lamp. The candle stayed alight for 10 miles before sputtering out.
I also had a vintage, dynamo powered rear lamp too.
Here I give you '1 candle power'!.....
...in the background is Chris' Raleigh with a very bright carbide lamp in full effect.
Carbide gives a very bright, white light.
Sadly no-one was using oil lamps this year after last years incident when Roy managed to set his saddlebag on fire whilst on the move!
Awesome. For those who like to watch birds (the flying kind) check out this link to the livestream on the Melbourne Peregrine falcon chicks. They should be flying by next week. Sometimes they are at the other end of the ledge where you can't see them but you can go back through the footage to see their movements through the day.
