Re: night riding was: Getting started in Endurance

["Sarah McIntosh" <smcintos@rapidnet.net>]

I envy those who can safely ride in the dark, but it wouldn't be very smart
where I live.

A few problems would be:  rocks, rocks, rocks, cougars, bears, and steep
narrow mtn trails where it would be suicide to fall off the edge.  We do
have some flat areas, but you have to ride on the road to get there which is
bad enough in the daylight, let alone at night when people are generally
driving too fast to see you before they hit you.

The only way I would think of riding here at night would be with a buddy.

C'est la vie.
