I did my first night ride yesterday after work. I rode with a friend - I don't think I'd like to do it alone - for safety reasons...ie. getting a flat in the middle of nowhere. But I have to say I really enjoyed the ride. We rode 22 miles. The vehicle traffic must not have been sure of what we were because they gave us a LOT of room. It was very peaceful. Seems like there is a lot less traffic after dark. There are no distractions, just you and the road in front of you. It does make it a bit harder to detect the dog's coming after you. I will definately do this again.
