Remember, no one is watching you. They don't in the daylight, so for the life of me I can't think why they would in the dark.... 😯

I love the fact that tonight, I thought that a tree stump lying by the track would definitely be a severed leg......

The only way to night ride is solo.

I love night riding solo, especially when the wildlife conspires to scare me..

Solo night rides are indeed great fun (as long as you've not been watching Whitechapel or something similar on the telly just before leaving 😯 )

I'm off out ona solo tonight. Bit worried as have had a thing that every ride in 2012 has to incorporate a new piece of track which normally means stopping to look at a map as I've got myself lost again! That's when the boogey monster catches you 😯

The very best thing about solo night rides is that you can do them un-lit because there's no lights arms race going on.

Completed my first solo night ride tonight, made it back in one piece, no monsters or lurking nutters.... But I did scare the sheet out of myself on a couple of occasions. Mental note, riding round Swinley (with it's proximity to broadmoor) is not the place to remind yourself of old ghost stories .... Loved it!

Been night riding longer than I care to remember. Not solo though, and judging by the amount of deer we keep running into lately, I recon on my own they may have a go

Mate of mine found a bloke hanging from a tree on one of our night ride routes, since then its been known as hangman's gully.

The point where the flowers are gives me the speed of Sir Chris Hoy +10 if I'm on my own!!!
