Night riding rules!

[enzed]

Hello everybody. I just got back from doing my fav night ride - a 25km loop ride. It's so quiet outside & there's hardly any traffic.
On the way back, I ended up " racing" a mountainbiker.
He was the only other cyclist on the road for the whole ride & when he passed me he said a friendly hello.
I'm not the most competative person, but I have a decent chance of passing someone on a mountain bike (a Giant boulder to be exact). So I reckon I would try to keep up & maybe pass them. But, this guy was smokin.
Seriously, I raised a decent sweat trying to keep up with him. When I finally was level with him, I just had to comment on how fast he was & we ended up chatting.
He reckons we were riding about 30Km at one point, and I was keeping up pretty well.
We never got around to exchanging names, but it's good to know there are other night riders out there.
