I'm not alone in the Deep Dark Forest

[Zipp2001]

The clocks have been moved forward, and the nighttime darkness arrives early now. The fall temps as still mild as of this ride but the raw wintery temps are approaching. When I started my ride, I was the only car in the trailhead parking lot. After about 40 minutes in the lower section of the forest, I cut thru the parking lot to head to the center trail section and surprise there is another car in the parking lot now as darkness arrives. Another 20 minutes later I see a light in the distance thru the bare trees. I'm not alone!

Very nice. A couple of questions though.
Apart from a couple of sections, that looked like you were just riding through the trees randomly. If it's not a trail how do you know where you are??
In the UK the biggest animal you are likely to encounter is a deer, and tbh they would hear you a mile off and probably run away. Are you not concerned about bears? Or mountain lions ?
