Night Riding

[rockertom]

Been doing a fair amount of riding after dark lately. The roads I know well during the day. Seem to change very drastically while running them in the dark. The ride has changed quite a bit for me lately. Enjoying the roads again, with a whole new perspective added to them.

I no ride at night. Rule number two in my book (rule one is don't drink and ride).......

I can't say that I'd really want to ride the "good roads" after dark. I do well enough to freak myself out during the day on them, let alone add darkness to equation.

I learned to ride way back when on "those" roads at night. But I don't know if I can trust my depth perception as much now as I could then, when I was much younger.

Didn't R.E.M. do a song about this?

I love to head out and ride some good rodes before dark. Grab some supper. Catch a movie. Put in another hour or two on the bike. Stop at a club/bar/poolhall, whatever around midnight and kill a couple of hours. Ride to an all night breakfast place, and eat again. Then get home around 3-4 am. Makes for a great weekend night.

I like riding at night also. Though I'm much more tame in the dark .. well .. on the bike

That's what I was really saying. I don't mind riding at night and rather enjoy it, just wouldn't want to do any of the "good roads" because along with good roads comes critters and with fixed headlights, I'd likely find one.

Did you just call ET a critter?

I guess it could be taken that way.
