night is right

my first local mtb ride and it was at night, not a bad way to explore. my eyelids feel like they are covering sandpaper, glasses would have helped. no wildlife out there that i saw, no mud but a fair bit of snow. i wan't ready to throw down but night rides really don't have that anyway, with the other three on geared dualies, i was ok to sit up and enjoy the plodding pace. i survived at my own pace. as usual up was fine, down was slower than the rest, whatever.
