In reply to Grog's comment on the last post, it was definitely an interesting ride. It's actually a great place to road ride because there is almost zero auto traffic. In the daytime on weekends I've seen people using the uncleared lots as place to ride atv's. Some that are more open were being used as airfields for remote control airplanes. The only thing that concerned me that night was that I could picture these remote areas as being the perfect place for kids to party. I could see myself stumbling past one of these redneck drunk-fests in my matching spandex. At that point my overactive imagination envisioned them releasing their pack of rabid pitbulls (the official dog of rednecks in FL.) to run me down. I was calculating in my head how long I could ride at 30 mph and at what point I would hear the low rumble of Super Swamper tires on a jacked up pickup truck with cherry bomb exhaust as the chase began in ernest.
Like I said, overactive imagination. I will ride there again, especially when the time change goes into effect. Either that or with my HID headlight.

Flashback 20 years . . . you, by chance, wouldn't have been one of those kids would you? What would YOU have done as one of those kids?
Holy crap!! I think it's obvious I've been dealing with more counselors/social workers than is good for me . . .
In all seriousness I definitely understand the concern. If you posted that on SORBA - the ride the other night, the area and how it's a great place to road ride in the day and your concerns re: night - you'll start a pretty good debate that I can almost assure you will result in name calling, arguments about carrying guns and suggestions for mace . . . so go ahead and do it - it's been too quiet over there lately . . .
