I love night riding. It means that nothing has to stop me from riding except conditions where I could freeze. (mainly deep snow or rain on cold days). Because of night riding, I was able to keep in biking shape all winter and come into the next season already strong. Plus, it’s so cool to be doing something that few others do. With good bright lights, I can go almost as fast as I do during the day.

Nice night ridin’ , riding in the trail with a full moon and stars are the bomb. but lack of lights for the trail ride makes it difficult for us but no one beats the camaraderie and jokes with ride buddies.

I love night riding. Especially in the early morning hours when most of the town is asleep.

Night riding rocks. I haven’t done it much but it’s really fun. By the way, I’ve thrown down a weight loss challenge for next week on my blog. If you’re interested in participating swing on over. All losers will be donating to LAF. If you aren’t interested no big deal.

I’ll bet Jill is escaping light pollution about now!

I had this same getting away with something feeling the first time I did a night SCUBA dive in the Phillipines. It was magical.

Favorite ride at night is Clarks Trail in corner canyon. Red light on the back flashing to scare mountain lions (no data to prove this works). The eyes on the back of my helmet probably cannot be seen. Fatty, you need to make glow in the dark rear eyes. It is surprising the instinctive horror felt when a pair of retinas glows back at you. Dear=mountain lion for 1 second. Adrenalin for 10 min.

I love star-generated vertigo…it’s only happened to me once – also in Colorado. Priceless.

Love the post…I clearly have much to learn.

Nice post Fatty :-)

I’ll say again how lucky you Americans are. There isn’t anywhere in my part of the world where I can escape light pollution to get that ‘Star Filled Sky’ moment. I do the lying down and looking a lot when I’m over there though.

Luv ‘n Stuff.

Living in AZ, night riding is just about the only way we can ride in the summer. Unless you want to get up at 4am for a morning ride. But I need my beauty sleep, trust me. And you’re right, night riding DOES make you feel like you’re getting away with something. While others are sitting on the couch, watching American Idol. You’re out having fun.
