Local fireroad climb, singletrack descent, fireroad climb, fireroad descent kind of a ride.
All alone, except for one big ole owl. And the coyotes yapping.

I miss night riding.
I wish we could, but in my country its asking for trouble.
me, i get scared 🥺 but i’ve set my fastest lap on my local loop where there’s a lot of pedaling and climbing that way!
i only started doing night rides during the winter cause i really wanted some form of exercise/cardio after work, so got a nice flashlight and flashlight mount.
So cool, but really a big problem for animals
Really missed the opportunity to add some Iron Maiden to this
Love night riding. But when those intrusive thoughts hit you, imagining a hand reaching out from the darkness behind you; I start pedaling like I’m running steps after turning the last light off downstairs at night.
The only thing that scares me at night is being hit by a deer. A huge buck literally jumped over my handlebars as I was riding single track at night over ten years ago and that moment still crosses my mind. The head and handlebar lamps don’t do much for the peripheral vision.
