My first solo night ride, ok well dusk ride but it's a start. What's great about this ride is that to get to the woods you can ride a singletrack trail nearly all the way from my house. The trail runs between a housing estate and a main road, it twists and flows between trees and dumped trollies before spitting you out in a country park. First ride of the month where it did more than just tick the box!

Also, congratulations America! And more importantly.....Rich and I have an entry to Strathpuffer-despite stating clearly that after Mayhem I was never going to do a 24hr race again. At least I've got a partner in grime, I hope Rich has a LOT of warm clothes...he's gonna be waiting in the cold for some time!!!!

This sounds a lovely ride. I think riding in the woods at night might be very scary!

You are riding strathpuffer, I thought about it but knew it was too much solo and couldn't think of anyone mad enough to want to do it with me!
