the days are getting noticeably shorter these days so too are my post-work rides. it's getting more and more crucial that i get out on the road at 5:31 and not a minute later or else i'm going to be riding either 10 miles total or in total darkness, as i did tonight. people have a habit of showing up just minutes before close and either want to just chit-chat or they have some emergency that is never as quick as some air in the tires. today was just one of those days. i didn't get on the road for an extra 50 minutes, which absolutely killed me. the ride was still good... no, the ride was still great, but the last 30 minutes were basically in the dark with no light. i did, however, have the foresight to bring my rear blinky light. i did not die.
yesterday my computer started acting up... i'd get an average speed of 15mph, then 66mph... then 0mph, etc. today it just wasn't working at all, most likely it's just a dead sensor battery. no worries though, i have my phone with a GPS program... too bad that ate the battery up in about an hour and a half. that's why the mileage is approximated today. you gotta love technology.
