the best tip is to just enjoy it for what it is.

😆

You'll have a blast, I love night riding.

Definately if you're riding alone take it easy and tell someone where you are going and roughly how long you will be - seriously, as a group we've had a few crashes on night rides and if I/we were on our own it wouldn't have been funny!! 1 guy slipped right to the bottom of the stream, down the steep bank on the first climb on the Cwmcarn XC course, took 3 of us to pull him and his bike back up!!

He was ok but a tad shaken and now skips that bit by scooting up the fire road!!

But do get out there and have fun

oops sorry took a serious approach to my answer 😳

So take a silver bullet with you for the Weirwolf and fire it out of your arris when your spinning away from the hairy monster 😕

Stick to path...ignore the wolves and maybe you'll be ok if it rains...

Goodn lights, backup lights and let someone know.

Go with some other riders-look for local rider clubs.

Don't look at bears in the eye or is that tigers?
