Ever ride far enough to run out of people? My time in the woods was alway my time. I loved it. Coming back to civilization was always a let down. Then I’d call a friend and go do something. I grew up in the country, my nearest school mate was miles away. No computers, no neighbors, no internet, and chores a dog and mischief to get attention when the folks got home. Looking back it seems pretty good now. Comparatively.

I rode on a tril that kept getting thinner and thinner until I was carrying my bike through a swamp that had warning signs you could sink in the mud either side of the trail. So I came to a fallen log that needed to be crossed. What was on the other side of the log? Another bicyclist carrying his bike going the way I came. That was funny. We encouraged each other to keep going on and have a nice day.

I used to almost always ride during the daylight but for the last year I been riding almost always late at night. Late night is great because there are hardly any people or cars and the traffic lights mostly turn off or flash yellow past 11pm. Which is lonely in plain sight. I reccommend it 👍
