I truly enjoy riding my bike at night now. Like, 8pm at night. You have to pay so much more attention that you can feel yourself become even more focused on the small details of riding your machine. Every small crack or unevenness in the road becomes magnified and it almost seems like you can feel the road better. Probably because you can barely see it!
ON THAT NOTE (SEGUE!??!)
Let It Be Known - I hate people who wear all black exercise clothing/outfits/whatever when they are out walking on a marked BIKE PATH in an area with NO LIGHTS, and that, while I have right of way and have a front headlight on the front of my bike REFUSE to not get in a single file line and continue to walk three abreast taking up the whole lane. It is not that I don't mind the taking up the entire path. It is the fact that, while dressed all in black, at night when everything is black, and while a light is being shone upon them by a 15+mph bike THEY STILL APPEAR BLACK AND THEREFORE ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE!!!!
Todays contribution = 33km
Total self contribution = 437+ 33 = 470km (32.4%)
Total distance = 1416.7 + 33= 1449.7km
Distance towards Cordova from Anchorage = 38 + 33= 71 (of 624km to Cordova AK)
