A salutary lesson in preparation and a slight bite on the arse for being cocky. Went for 'short' night ride on North Downs with a friend last night; and realised that whilst I know my properly local trails well enough to be able to get around them with my eyes mostly shut, the same doesn't work when you try and transpose routes that you only ride on the wheels of locals on sunny Sunday afternoons onto wet, dark, windy Tuesday nights the day after a raging storm's passed through and switched all the trails around (and don't even mention the light failures, lack of food, and hour-long wait for the train). Black dog, anyone...?
