Of course I knew that the clocks had gone back yesterday. Of course I knew my way round a forest we were cycling in on Sunday afternoon. Of course I didn't see any problem in trying out a new trail with the two ten year olds I had with me ( my son and his pal ) Of course I wasn't really lost when it started to go dark unfeasably early. Of course I had deliberately left the bike lights in the toolbox in the car as we wouldn't be needing them and they would just have got muddy. I wasn't worried at all, or in any way relieved to find ourselves more or less accidently back on a familiar trail. Nor was I in any discomfort about having left our waterproofs in the car as the heavens opened and darkness fell, and I realised that we still had about 5 miles of unlit and by now deserted ( apart from the local axe-murderer of course ) forest trail still to cover. This was not a problem, any more than the leaving of the mobile phone in the glovebox or the fact that my son's pal was supposed to be back by 3.30 as they were going out to eat...
Good run actually...
