I've just been out for an hour, it was wet, cold and windy. But a bike ride is better than no bike ride!

Yup, in an hour or so, going out round the local loop to shake down my new 30 quid bastid helmet light. If all goes well, off to do a night lap of dalby red later this week.

I went out at 7.30, back at 8.30 which is as close as I get to solo night riding. It was lovely, think I saw a tawny ... please someone prevent the dark nights! Will spend the winter evenings nose pressed up against the window, looking out, wishing I was braver 🙁

Meh, there's nothing out there in the dark, that ain't there during the day.

Only now, it's awake. And hungry... 😈

Went for a burl along the canal. Not very exciting but at least I've earned a dram before bed.

Yes, love it. Forgot how good it is riding in the dark, plus i am hoping it will rain less in winter, it normally does!
