    Pupils work independent of each other. You can prepare one eye for the tunnel by closing it 20 seconds before the tunnel. Your brain will see the NV image in preference to the “day eye”. Also works in reverse. At night, always close only one eye to the oncoming headlights. When you open it again, your night vision is preserved.

    On a looong decent, I’ve found that my lower back and arms start to burn after about 15 minutes. Is this normal? Or do I need to make some adjustments?

    Just letting you know, then ending annotation thing should be “Watch Part 3: BIKE SET UP”

    Another tip: you can prepare one eye for night vision by closing it a few seconds before the tunnel, and the pupil will start to dilate. When you get into the tunnel, open it and your brain will use the dilated eye for its vision. The same applies in reverse – if you are blinded by headlights, rather than look away, always just close one eye. The other eye will retain its night vision and you can see immediately you open it! This tip can save your life!

    If you took a slightly later, slightly sharper turn into that hairpin, you could come out of it faster maybe? Also a well-used style of racing line, but you didn’t mention it.
