Dark Gray with Orange Borders – October 11th Bike Ride
Tonight I am back on the Raleigh M800 mountain bike. When I left for the ride the sky was just beginning to have the sunset look. As I rode further the scattered clouds began to turn dark gray from the night approaching but with the sun not over the horizon yet the edge o of the clouds were a pinkish-orange. When I turned on my headlight the clouds were just beginning to darken up. The colors caught my eye for the rest of the ride. The slight chance of rain turned out to be just that since the clouds never even looked close to dropping any water all day. The temperature at the end of the ride was 80 degrees and the easy SE 10 mph breeze was appreciated.
Joggers and walkers without lights continue to be a problem. Maybe they can see themselves better than I can in the dark.
Today’s ride data:
- October miles 234.28
- YTD miles 4235.87
