The Season of long-days-and-4-moons-of-bad-skiing have passed here in the True North. As we hunker down for the long dark nights, we put away the bi... no, wait, lets go for a night ride! We ride up Mt Fromme in the darkness, and soon only the racoons, owls and spirits of the night are our companions. We have the entire mountain to ourselves.

We start out on the trail of Kurtz, but we soon settle for Krinkum Krankum, with brodiegrrl leading the way. The horror... the horror ... the horror.

JimC flies down a ramp into the darkness with his signature move, the "Plumber's Drop" (sorry Jim, low blow).

Brodiegrrl gets too close to the action, but gets a nice shot in

After getting more confident on the skinny stuff in the dry and daylight, I find that the wet stuff in the dark is really not much different or much harder

I cross the elevated ladder section near the bottom of the Griffin

My transparent-lens Ryders were meant to protect my eyes from difficult-to-see twigs and sticks in the darkness, but they also make me look surprisingly evil. What an added bonus.

Most of the pictures I took came out really crappy and these are mostly brodiegrrl's pictures. Nic pics, Sharon!
