    How did you find it?


    I did the usual 30km ride this morning with the Friday crew. A nice easy pace.

    It was a fun way to mix things up. It was easier than I thought it would be, but I also know the trail fairly well. I felt like the lighting messed with depth perception so it was hard to judge speed.

    Depth perception at night is a big issue with cycling as well.
    The best way to try overcome it is by having a bright light that has a lot of spillage on either side.

    39 miles to and from work.

    Really dark this morning - and Thug is right - brighter lighting helps. Sadly I have been wearing a jacket in the morning now riding.

    How have you avoided getting mowed down by mindless drivers?

    Most of the ride is on a bike trail - 16 miles of it.

    I was reading about rails to trails this week. There are far more bike trails converted from old railways in this country than I had thought. I actually thought of this thread when I was reading the article.

    Yeah, they have special wheels that you can clip on your bike that fit train rails.
