Me and my son-in-law went for a quick ride tonight. He doesn’t get as much chance to ride as I do due to work demands and also the demands of a young family, so, anytime he calls me up and asks if I want to go riding, I always try to say yes.
Anyway, tonight illustrated just how out of form I am when it comes to night riding. Nowadays the only time I ride at night at all is during the speedway season wehn I’m coming back from the track at Nowra late on Saturday night and the road is usually deserted and I can play to my heart’s content.
But tonight, even on a road that I know really well, I was all over the place; braking too early, apexing at the wrong time, you name it.
Guess I’d better get out at night more, eh?
