 Late Ride
Today I waited until later to ride, but sunset and dusk were fast approaching when I left the house. I rode down to the park and cut across town and got on the trail abov Falls Park. I think the sun had set or was setting as I passed the cafe. I headed on north and turned back when I got to the Furman intersection. As I approached that intersection I starting meeting girls riding alone with no lights on. I don't like seeing them out alone especially in the dark. But they had no lights which makes them hazardous to me and to them. I stopped at the pocket park and called Cis to pick me up at the cafe. I had a good talk with some bikers there while waiting for Cis. This is the fist time that I have ridden in the dark or near dark. I had my blinkies on, but didn't have a headlight. I found it a little unnerving as it got darker.
