There is nothing 'special' about riding in that general area at night relative to any other rural area. Use a powerful enough headlamp to see the road ahead at the speeds you typically ride and use redundant rear lighting (I do two tail lights and a big red reflector). At best you'll have moonlight to help you see and be seen but don't even count on that. Carry a small flashing headlight just in case your main one fails. And look out for deer. It is getting to be that season. I love night riding and wish I had an excuse to do it as much as I used to.
