Re: RC: Re: night riding was: Getting started in Endurance

I have no problems with rocks, but am intimately familiar with the bad drivers.
All of my "trails" are actually roadside.  My area has wide shoulders on the
farm-to-market roads and this is where I do all of my riding.  No unfenced piece
of land big enough to swing those sponge-substitute cats within 100 miles.  All
of my horses are perfectly traffic safe by necessity.

I would love to have to be worried about rocks, cougars, bears, and steep narrow
mountains!

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.
