Riding into Dark


Enjoyed the ride todaynight. I have this 5 mile loop through 2 cemeteries, a private nuns home, and city streets, with rolling hills, did 5 loops. Was misting out. Didn't realize the mist was starting to freeze on the pavement. When I stopped to walk through the cemetery gate I was slipping and sliding. My bike studs, like always, hooked up well on the slippery streets. Stopped over at Ma-Pa's for a few minutes. Mom is feeling better, but pretty much chair ridden, with now a cracked vertebra. But always loves to chat, about you, and not her. A class act.
I need to have everything ready so I can rocket out the door after work. But the days are long enough now I can get an outdoor ride after work. :-) Now every day a little bit warmer, a little longer day.



Home sweet home. I see my son Joshua standing in the door way watching. So when he came out with super dog Pitty I snapped their picture, ha ha.

Looks like Dubuque has some good riding, I've been off the bike for a week, but I'm out there today, can't stand to see yall riding and me not.
Pitty is a good looking boy, does he like to chase bikes?

Wish I could ride by parents house - would be a 6000 mile round trip. May need a few days off for that.

How is that Magicshine light working out?

Thanks for the nice comments. Nope MrBill Pitty is not allowed to chase bikes. She would love it I'm sure, but she stays inside her fenced in back yard unless someone is with her.
Dan the magicshine light is great, it had good reviews so I thought I would try it. Great to have when the sun goes down. And yes that would be quite a ride for you to visit parents.
