I don't do night riding very often (not counting commutes through the city)
but I do enjoy it. Two particular memories: around this time last year,
went out late Saturday afternoon to the lanes around Delamere. As it was
going dark there was ground mist, about two foot high off the road. Dark
and misty, I nearly hit a black object in the middle of the road. On closer
inspection it was a cat curled up asleep. Good luck? Next day I had my
first "real" crash and put a hole in my new leggings.
Second was a few weeks later, riding back home from my sisters house, half
ten at night, 18 miles. Clear sky, full moon, saw about three cars during
the ride. Fantastic.
