Headed out this evening solo at about 5:50. The forecast for tonight is a pretty hard freeze. As soon as the sun was behind the mountain it was getting cold. I am thankful that I had picked up my Novara Jacket about a month ago at REI. I was a little warm on the way up (when am I not warm up Findley). Perfect on the way down. The Jacket is supposed to be windproof at 60 mph.
I had a pretty good time to the top of the ridge- 31 minutes from the start the junction of Williams Hwy/ Findley Road. By the time I reached the ridge it was starting to get dark. I turned on the lights and headed down. I might have to move my light from my helmet to the handlebar. On these cooler nights there is quite a bit of moisture in the air. In a few sections it was difficult to see as the light reflected off the fog. I also have decided I need to upgrade my cheapo safety glasses for some real night eye wear.
