Shine The Light on Me

Daylight Savings Time.



Man, I don't mind losing the hour of sleep. I don't mind having only a 47-hour weekend. But, I do hate having to ride in the dark, again, all the way to work, in the morning.



I especially hate it when something like this happens:

That's my nice, fancy new CygoLite hangingfrom the battery pack by its power cord.

"Did it just pop out of the mount?" you ask.

"Nay, my friend. Behold!"

The mount snapped at the point where the neck for the click-in interface emerges from the body of the mount.

Yes, I was Just Riding Along, this morning, on the way to work. I was about halfway there, and I saw a lady walking her dog on the street, coming toward me.

"Good morning"s were exchanged, and I swung a little to the right to avoid crowding her dog. That caused me to hit a pothole, which resulted in the damage you see.

I'm sure the manufacturer will replace the mount, but I am a little concerned about it's longevity. I bought this light for the 24 Hours Of Moab, it broke on a Denver city street.

So, how long will it last on the Behind the Rocks trail?

Maybe I'll make an aluminum mount for race time. I'd rather not have to worry about it at 3:00 in the morning, as I hallucinate little elves chasing me through the woods.

In the meantime, I have to rely on my back-up unit, I suppose.
