The Late Edition

Well, late for me.

As in I just got in.

Okay, not really.

I took a shower first.

Cause I just got back in from a night ride.

A short jaunt.

To stretch the legs so to speak.

For tomorrow.

Maybe.

Anyways, I was sitting around, watching Law & Order, and it was getting sort o'toasty in the abode.

I live in a warehouse don't you know.

There's no air circulating and I was thinking, I should go out and just go for a spin.

So off I went!

I wish that ole moon was a little fuller cause I spent part of my ride in darkness.

For some reason, the lights were off on one side of the viaduct.

This is the lighted side:

The other side however was eerie.

Folks sitting at the bus stop in complete darkness.

I only had my little blinky Knog up front but it did help a bit.

Since I was out, I decided to go look at that straightaway I rode the other day, I wanted to see how the street lights looked.

First, complete darkness again as I passed the airport part:

I need me a light!

More on that later.

It was pretty nice riding these parts at night.

Since it's mostly industrial, there's virtually no traffic!

I don't have to keep checking my six cause I can see approaching headlights.

Mostly though, it's sort of peaceful.

Meaning I can suffer in silence.

The straight:

I didn't go all the way down there, I just wanted to see how the lights lined up.

I'll take the real camera back there later and do a shoot.

Turn back around and it's into the wind.

Oh boy.

Honolulu at night:

It's all shaky cause I was a huffing and a puffing and sucking up oxygen like it was on sale at Costco.

Out of shape, but I'm working on it.

The Ninja Bike:

I gotta tighten up the super blinky thingy cause everytime I go over bumps it droops down.

Now I gotta find me a decent front light.

I don't want a honking big light like Steve A that will stop deer in their tracks.

Not that we have deer here.

Not on this island anyways.

Just something with a couple of watts should do.

So I announce: Quest For Light!(QFL!).

Don't hold your breath, this may take a while.

Anyways, six miles tonight.

Just checking the legs.

If you know what I mean.
