Chasing Darkness

Well daylight savings finally arrived, and the first day of spring is behind us. Us working folks can now actually ride outside after work instead of going nowhere for 2+ hours on the trainer while watching the same old movie yet again. Last week's amazing weather made it feel even better to finally get out there. But the longest day of the year is still 3 months away, so you might actually find yourself getting in less time on the bike. It's a temptation to go just a little bit farther than you planned to before turning around and then you find yourself pulling a desperate TT all the way back Route 44 in an attempt to make it home before total darkness, hoping that all those people out there in their cars will notice the little blinking red light under your seat (if you actually remembered to reach back and turn it on) and leave you at least 6 inches of room as they fly by and don't cut you off pulling into McDonald's. As we well know, it is dangerous out there, so be careful and don't take unnecessary risks.
