If I'm on my own I sing. Usually the Indiana Jones theme tune... If I'm with other people I'm usually wondering why I'm slower than them!

My last night ride was spent mostly thinking about [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/night-riding-whats-the-strangest-and-spookiest-thing-youve-seen ]this thread[/url].
Thanks STW.
On Sunday night going up through Talybont Forest I tried to imagine I was doing the Tour Divide and that I'd been riding for over 100 miles and was looking for somewhere to camp out whilst not getting eaten by bears.
When I popped out of the forest, I could see zillons of stars so I turned my lights off and stood in awe of the scale of the universe. That sort of stuff also makes me think about God, but we've done that on another thread...
Climbing over the Gap my mind was blank while I concentrated on my riding line. On the decent I thought about how long the mountain rescue helicopter would take to get to me if I binned it, assuming I wasn't unconscious and had a phone signal.
And before I knew it I was at the bottom and thinking about what I'd eat when I got back home.

Ian riding the gap at night sounds awesome.
I think about the time I have saved by not waiting for my useless mates to get ready
Nothing. I am in a white space.
That's why I like it.
I sometimes wonder when/who will find my body if I badly stack. 😕
Nothing much, just glad to be out. At times wounder why I am cranking over the moors on a bad weather day at the age of 62.
