Got out for the first time with my new NIMH 5 hour lighting system. Still do not like to ride in the fog. But, my niterieder system really lit up the road. Had been dubious about not being seen by motorists. I have two tail lights and a bright 15 w bulb in front. Lots of reflective straps about limbs. Cars flashed me from far away.
but my main point. Left about 45 minutes before dark. Got up top of a 1000 ft. hill from where you can see the sun go down over the Pacific. Red, grey clouds and a bright red sun. To the east was a full harvest moon. It was definitely a Kodak moment. Wish I had my disposable camera with me -that I often carry. it was memorable. Conditions were clear and temperatures pleasant for night time riding. Will do it again.
