    One of the pitfalls of riding at night is that you can fall into a pit. I think it’s nothing, just sore. Barely noticed it after the incident, but I was limping when I got out of the truck at home. Yeeks.

    Boooooo! Don't you know winter is coming? Gotta get back on that snowboard! I hope it's just a little sore. Healing rays your way. :thumbsup:

    I had to ice my knee yesterday 3 times after my ride.

    @buggravy, how's the knee this morning?

    Thanks, y'all. My gut says it's nothing serious. It's definitely sore, and I'm limping a bit, but no discernible swelling or loss of ROM. I was able to descend the stairs this morning with no issue, which bodes well I think. I'm actually more concerned about my hand & wrist. Pain and stiffness from the outside of my wrist up to the base of my pinky. Again though, I suspect a mild sprain at most, but I know hand stuff can be stubborn. Fingers crossed.

    No improvement, but it's not worse, so I'll take that as a good sign. :thumbsup:

    Your first real night ride should have been memorable for the right reasons. Not for this :cry:

    Oh, it's definitely still memorable for the right reasons, including the laugh I'll get out of the pic looking back. @SnakeCharmer gave some sage advice this morning, saying it's best to do night rides on trails you're already familiar with, which really makes a ton of sense. There will definitely be more night rides in my future!

    As well as riding a trail you're familiar with, have a little more wine before the descent.

    Even if you are familiar with the trail in daylight, riding that same trail at night changes things. I don’t care if you’ve gone over the same trail over and over, once night falls the trail seems different. I think getting used to riding at night is the key.
    At one of the regroups on Caballero, Pete pulled up behind me and said “most people slow down at night, but not you.” Made me chuckle :D

    Rocks look bigger, ruts look deeper, drops look higher, trails look flatter.

    All of these things, for sure, but with familiarity one would know where to look out for the giant trail washout of death. I suppose the argument can be made that one should be able to avoid those, regardless.

    That topic was also covered. In short, we color seeing humans are blind as a bat in darkness. Our depth perception goes right out the door.

    Haha, awesome. Though if you think I'm much younger than you then you probably have taken a couple too many branches to the dome.

    This is so true! I run at night sometimes on the same trials I’ve been running for 20 yrs, but they look completely different at night and even at dusk. Like @SnakeCharmer said, it’s the depth perception..there is none!
    Heal up amigo, see you Sat :) @buggravy

    Remember when he was on his back not long ago, like an upside down turtle, at the Gab waterfall? :D

    That crash scared me more; it was a face plant and I watched it happen. :eek:

    That feature won't be cleanable until someone takes a saw...
