Night out in the fields


Monster light. On left patch from helmet mount light


As far as I am concerned the summer is over. Proof of this was last nights ride. We left and met up around 9:30 pm for the mechanics night ride. I was decked out in a long sleeve jersey and a Gore windstopper jacket, leg warmers , gloves and a Bandanna to keep the cold air out of my asmatic lungs. Evertime we would dip from elevation to a valley the cold and humidity was clearly there. Overall we had a good ride with some hard efforts up some hills. We rode to Genoa and took a breather there. Things are shaping up for the fall. The light above is the one that Dennis built for me. It literally works like a car light. It lights up the whole road and gives us a good sense of security. It also Stops cars at intersections.
40 miles
16mph average
max 26.6 mph
