Did my first ever night ride tonight – it was ace!
Not chased by any monsters, but I did catch an owl on a fence post which spread its wings in such a way, that they cast a shadow similar to the batman sign over Gotham City.
I found that I fell into a rhythm where I wasn’t going too fast but I was pedalling constantly – sounds daft I know!
my new solution that I tried for keeping my feet warm worked really well too – front part of the foot placed into a sandwich bag and then another thin-ish sock over the top – toasty feet (almost too toasty actually, as I found that the top of my inner sock was actually a bit damp with sweat which I hadn’t noticed while riding)
