Night Riding
Yesterday had some really awesome weather for December. Temperatures were in the low 60s and it wasn't raining. Since we were expecting pretty bad winter weather tonight, Jillian and I decided to take advantage of yesterday and go for a bike ride. When we left it was only 4:30, so we assumed we'd have at least an hour of riding.
We were mistaken. By 5:00 it was very dark and we headed home as fast as we could. Riding in the city wasn't too bad, since the streetlights are good, but riding through the industrial section of town on South Street was pretty bad. Although we're not expecting to do any sort of night riding again in the immediate future, I did buy us both tail lights tonight (one is for Jillian for Christmas, so shhhh!).
Still, we did manage to put in a quick seven miles at a good pace. Plus we had a lot of fun. When we got back we decided to take a picture from the roof of my car since we matched so nicely. You might notice that my jersey is lit up like crazy. I got that jersey from the professor that ran the lab I used to work in. It's by a company called illumiNITE and has almost little pieces of reflective something in it. They're incredibly reflective, as you can easily see. But anyway, that's why I appear to glow.
