less riding :( == more running :)

i just wanted to blog about this - the difficulty (or the acceptance to an impossibility) of squeezing a late afternoon to an early evening bike ride now that dst comes to end. being a typical 9-5 weekday matrix-world worker, getting home around 7p does not provide enough window even for a short ride. more than once i did manage to do a past 5p (dst) ride, and still ended up pedaling in darkness on my way back home, relying mostly on the familiarity with the road + some help from traffic headlights. i do have some bike lights, but this is not enough to warrant a night road biking (my 'dik buddies and i do mtb night/dawn riding, which is also a fun experience). so there, road biking comes to an end this year. from a different perspective though, that means more evening runs - cold, rain, snow, and all.
