Night rides have been a staple of mine for decades since moving to SW FL in '86 (Hurricanes Ian and Charlie made visits and now still evacuated since electric is out and water is just starting to flow, hoping to return soon) but we are under a 10PM to 6AM curfew and those are my hours I ride putting a halt to night riding until lifted. Even when curfew lifts I still have to heal from my second wild hog hit while on a night time ride. Latest on July 26th at 3:04AM resulted in fractured Tibia still not healed and first on April 27, 2020 resulted in 2 cracked ribs + punctured lung + cracked Scapula + left shoulder trauma that paved the way for a torn rotator cuff from a crash on July 4, 2021.

Started the year with my monthly night time 100 mile FULL MOON RIDES but Prostate Cancer (PCa) issue put a halt to those rides just 4 months into the year. At 72 it's harder to bounce back from health issue but I'm determined to continue as hard as possible until I die. Now another PCa issue just popped up with latest blood work so ????
