The wind kicked my butt today

Try a yellow filter. It really does help. Add yellow glasses/goggles
and it helps even more.

Yes. I haven't given it the acid "ride in the woods" test yet. It has
done everything else really well. Run time on high is well beyond the
claimed 45 minutes, albeit at visibly diminished power. I will report
back.

I'd consider it, but fog is so rare in Vancouver that the last week of
it has been newsworthy. And again, using the light on low solves most of
the problem. And I have a powerful bar-mounted light too, when I
remember to move it to the bike du jour.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

I look forward to it.
