Well done! I'm impressed! Of course, from now on, I'm guessing some handy, small but powerful clip-on head and taillights go in that little under-the-saddle bag, just in case a serendipitous evening ride should occur again ...

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

I guess you could say it was a happy accident. I would have much rather known this was coming, but then maybe I wouldn't have gone that route.
I have some cheap lights permanently installed on my bike - there's always a 50/50 chance that I'll be coming home in the dark on any commutes.

I used to believe in the squiggly lines = hills thing, too, until I toured through Iowa. (State motto: Our roads are STRAIGHT! No Matter What.)
Still, good job. A little extra workout is good for you.
Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
