DH and I were determined to ride today but, with a forecasted high of 101 and a heat index of 115+, it wasn't going to happen during the day. So we did the next best thing: did it at night!

We mounted our big LED headlights for commuting onto our road bikes, added a couple tailights each, and headed out at 4:15 am. It was 80 degrees and humid as all heck, but certainly nicer than our daytime temps have been! Best of all, there was no sun and no sunscreen!

We saw maybe a dozen cars up until we turned back into town, when the rest of the world was up and moving. The scariest part were the deer, some of whom were quite close to the road. I kept my speed down because of them.

I like riding at night, and I think this might have to become a regular thing
