    I can't wait, the first time trail is 2/16 (in one month!), I have 32 miles to date! I hope Spring comes fast.

    I'm desparate for longer days too. I was just guessing where the road was on Monday night when I did my after-work ride. No moonlight to show where the dark road ended and the dirt shoulder started. Lucky I've done the route enough time to know approximately where the road goes. I'm looking forward to being able to do the ride in full daylight and see wildlife in the fields!

    DH and I feel that January's redeeming quality is the amount of light we start gaining back. Sunday eve we were on a walk and realized we could see a glimmer of sunset on the horizon just before 6:00. He was jumping for joy! The lack of light affects him more than me, I think...

    Come on, spring!!!

    March 9th? Isn't that way early? I know the moved it back in the fall.

    I spend all February praying for daffodils to appear. But I'll be getting a good dose of sunlight a week from Friday when we fly to Miami and cruise with the Barenaked Ladies.

    Even in Florida it's cold and rainy and gloomy this morning.
    Thanks for the reminder of better times on the way, Mr. Silver!!!

    YAY! I can't wait. I don't mind riding in the dark with lights, but there's nothing like it being light at 8:00 p.m.

    I'm in Florida for business, and it was beautiful here this morning (in Port Charlotte). Sadly, this trip involves no riding, but I did get in 9 holes of something resembling golf this morning .

    C'mon Spring! More daylight is always welcome.
