Night riding is great! Go for it, besides you don't have to work tomorrow, right?

heh heh, yeah good point. Have you commuted in the dark? Are you prepared (lights and reflective stuff)? Since a train is an option, does that mean you'll be going very far?

Sounds like here, except it's 5:30 and sprinkling. We got the 50% chance of showers, and I'm going to ride home.

Assuming you can see where you are going, 66 degrees and dark sounds like awesome riding conditions.

66F ?!! Wow - that sounds like a great ride. Assuming you can get enough sleep ... and that you're street legal with lights and such.
