I ride my MTB to work most Days, it's only 1.8 miles so it's not really a ride...but every mile counts right?

Anyway, some nights on the way home I do part of the Backbay...so Monday night I rode home from work at 8:30 pm and decided to put the Lights on the Road Bike but unfortunately the front one wouldn't fit my K-Wing Bars, I had to use Tape, the Light gets really hot so the tape started to sag a bit...but the ride was awesome, there's normally no wind, it's kinda like riding in a Vacuum...no People, it's so quiet!! All you can hear are the Frogs...

I've since bought the FSA Control thingy that attaches to the Bars which in turn carries the front Light...so now there's no stopping me!!

Was the gate at the interection of San Joaquin closed? I think I would forget about it and...wham!!!

One day about a year ago it looked like it was going to rain so they closed it at about 5 PM. I was on my tri bike and zoning out a little bit...then I noticed the gate in front of me...it wasn't that close but a few more seconds and it could have been ugly.
