Darkness

So I went out for a one hour recovery ride tonight after dinner. Just a pretty standard loop that normally do for an hour ride. Not trying to push the power at all on this ride, after all it is a recovery ride.

Shadows were getting long as I turned eastward for a couple of miles. Then finishing my big loop and heading back to my car, the last few miles were straight into the setting sun so I could hardly see.

Then the sun went down and I couldn't see because it was dark and I am wearing sunglasses. So the last 10 minutes of the ride I was pushing not for a fitness or strava segment reason but because I wanted to get done while I could still see.

I am trying to enjoy riding outside as much as I can because it will be too cold and snowing soon, but apparently I need to ride before dinner now rather than after.
