So I went on an evening ride tonight. I usually go during the day but time got away from me. I set out on the local bike path (I'm too chicken to ride on the road and don't much desire to have my butt slapped) for a short 15 miler.

This is what I learned:
There are waaay more people on the path in the evening
It gets darker waaay faster than you think it will
There is a reason my bike glasses came with clear lenses
Don't breathe thru your mouth

So all you other newbies out there...why learn from your mistakes when you can learn from mine

Happy Riding...now I'm going to brush my teeth!
