The internal clock in my camera is still set on Standard Time, but this was exactly 8:00 local in Fairfax, with FaifaxPat on his Funk, myself on the '83 Ritchey Annapurna and Joe Breeze on a 1978 Series 1 Breezer.
Cross bike. Solo. Warm air. Less layers. In the woods alone. But with a feeling of belonging. Global riders united by the position of two hands. Dusty, dry, fast. Happy. Best global night ride of my life.
