Wild Geese that Fly with the Moon Their Wings

Tonight, a bike ride of monumental proportions. The isolated back roads from Shiner to Sweet Home, in the pitch black wilderness. I would have snapped some pictures, but alas they would have all been black. All totalled about 23 miles, Bob and I plan on the 'extreme' bike rides, so when BASH actually comes along, we are going to go, wow, this is easy.

Here's some of the challenges we encountered...

1. It's the semi same route the locals take while consuming beer, yea, having a few beers and driving home. Therefore our mere flashlight seemed like nothing for trucks coming around the corner in the pitch black on a one lane highway.
2. Yea, we encountered a few dogs, luckily Bob can bark like a mean dog and it scared the other dogs away
3. You can hear coyotes, but Bob says they Coyotes are more afraid of us than we are of them.
4. At one point there was something in the ditch that was following us, but we could see, so we just dropped down a gear and high tailed it out of there.
5. We stumble on a party out in the middle of nowhere, we think about crashing and grabbing a beer for the way home, but opted out.
