spooky

I went for a night ride along the sixmilewater river last night. Not far, just five miles or so. I was on my hybrid bike, so I didn't venture too far off the path. The only lights were from my bike and the only sounds were the water and the wildlife. I even heard a fish jumping in the mill race. I reckon the best things to do to relax are simple, but require your full attention, like juggling, or flying a kite. Night riding off road definitely fits into the same category. Because it was so dark, I found myself using sounds and smells for navigation almost as much as my sight.
I'll definitely be doing some more of that - next time I'll take the marin.
