Fog is scary

Headed out on the rig tonight, I knew it would be a short one so I planned a route that I thought would take just over an hour. I started off well, climbing up the road better than I would have expected to. Once I was a little higher I entered the fog. Visibility was about a metre, bar light was on low and helmet light turned off. Meant I was crawling for a lot of it. Went the wrong way on a bridleway I only rode last week, was a little scared at that point, had turned round to go back but found the right track.

11.26 miles @ 9.3mph
337m climbed

    I have done, but I kept riding into things at high speed.

    fog it bad in light or dark, infact, light might be worse if it's sunny, as it obscures everything.

    my worry with fog is cars ramming you from behind.

    all that said : fog == awesome

    No its worse in the dark as your lights reflect back at you! Oh and I get scared riding alone in the dark as it is. I need to find a local group to tag along with.
