I was riding through one of my favorite canyon runs at night and I bent my derailleur when it hit a huge rock. It was internally damaged and I couldn't shift anymore or pedal reliably. It was ok, I had my Light & Motion ARC HID light on me so the darkness wasn't a problem. I was about 4 miles away from home so I turned around and started to walk back..... until the light dimmed.
My light started bright white but it was slowly turning blue, which basically means for me to GET MY *** OUT OF THE CANYON BEFORE IT CUTS OUT. My walk turned into a run but the light didn't make it.
All of those stories of mountain lions attacking hikers and packs of coyotes attacking came rushing into my head. I was scared! There wasn't much I could do so I just held on to my canister of mace/pepper spray (I keep that strapped to my seatpost on solo runs) and marched on by starlight.
That was one of my scary stories in the dark. What about yours?
