Night Hangover

If you have a hangover at night, you have perhaps taken things a bit too deep. #followcamfriday finding the limit in Sedona with Lars Romig

When was the last time you were hungover? As a man who appreciates a cup or three of red wine, I definitely can relate to waking up feeling slightly worse than when my head hit the pillow the night before. If you are hungover in the evening, it may be time to reevaluate your priorities. Or, just get after that hair of the dog, and keep the party rolling.  

As I learned on this ride, if you have lights, you don't actually need to race daylight. Not that we were riding slow, but the imminent threat of getting darked on is somehow diminished when you have 3000 lumens strapped to your bike. Usually the beauty of sunset is contrasted by the need to get the fuck out of the woods. Not this time. 

Admittedly, night riding has never been that appealing to me. I guess when you ride for a living and days are planned around riding, I already get more miles than I can handle. I know, first world problems, right? But seriously, night is when I work, eat and sleep. And drink wine. This might cut into my wine drinking time... 

Check out my lights

Would you just look at it! The twilight situation with the rock reflection is reasonably stunning. I was amazed watching the footage for the first time. For a man who spends quite a bit of time in the editing cave, it is not often that I am amazed. Pretty cool option for filming, moving forward. 

Why not choose Sedona's "hardest", most revered ride to film at night for a first go. Seems safe to me. If you can't actually see the cliff to the right, is it actually there? This may be an easier time for people to ride this if they are scared of heights. Or maybe, we are just telling ourselves that. Either way, it was rad. 

Lars is my danger-man when things need to get done. This definitely isn't for everyone, but I can always trust Lars to be up for my ridiculous ideas. Anything to up the levels and progress a bit. Mediocrity is boring.  

My Bike Spec

As I count, my bike currently has 8 batteries strapped to it. I didn't even bring water on this ride because I needed to cut weight. 8 batteries without being an e-bike. My how far we have come. I need an intern to manage my battery charging situation. Email me your resume.
