Did the regular 15 mile ride that includes Blackwater's wildlife drive. I felt good and strong, but I have no idea about my pace as I completely forgot to set the bike's computer. It was entirely in the dark. The half moon was already high in the sky when I pushed off, but was mostly obscured by gathering clouds. The ride is almost entirely within you when riding on a dark night. My field is only as far as the reach of my headlight and I hear only the wind in my ears.
Below is a picture of the bike I'm currently riding, with it's new battery pack and retrofit headlight. I was hoping to capture the beam in the picture, but the flash mostly blew that out. Check out the duct tape covering my helmet—the height of cold weather riding fashion.
