"night moves"

i'm sorry for the cheesy, BobSegar title, but it DOES encapsulate the tenor of today's ride. morning brought uneventful flatish ride. have you realized that there is not real adventure at 6.15 in the a.m.? well, the trip home was something new. we had an after work event, Open House, if you like. that ties up around 8.00+, so i had to pre-prepare for the trip home. the Shimano generator hub is great, and the light works well for what it does, basic safety illumination. long story short i put the niterider back on too to give some extra light for the trip home. we, 'Lance', 'Cheryl' and i left work @ 8.15 or so for an darkening ride home, dropping 'cheryl' off first. 'lance' and i took the beargrass creek trail, where 'lance' veered off up grinstead. i headed into the park, and looped around my normal spring/seneca gardens return route. a nice moment was in cherokee coming up golf course hill (#1?) where i had a great tune of crickets and frogs playing for me. you can only appreciate those on the bike. i've done lots of morning dark riding, but evening dark riding is different b/c there are more cars and you have to be wary of the drunks too.

well, good legs, easy and slow, for both. good day with something good. although i don't pretend to enjoy getting home after 9.00 p.m.

17.5m/7 a.m./10.5 p.m./12 avg (yes, slow and pokey, but relaxed and good)
