PINKBIKE I notice has:
Can Cristina ride as fast at night as she can during the day?
Now...having done a small amount of night riding off road - and completely terrified myself, I know the answer. It's the same answer as 'will Christina ride as fast uphill dragging an anvil behind her bike?' and 'will Christina be able to cycle as fast if we remove her wheels?

Although...interestingly, she was only 3% slower on her 2.40 trail. We stopped night riding when we came round a corner in the day, to find that the farmer had dug a rectangular hole 4m long, by 3m wide and 1.5m deep in the track, which was a bridleway. In the day there was enough space to go around it. In the dark we would likely not have seen it. The farmer could rightly have claimed that he managed successfully to catch two mountain-bikers that evening, three sheep and a quad bike.
