Any thoughts on this?
I am originally from Indiana and my whole life up until next April clocks in most of the state have been about an hour ahead of "sun time" year round because Indiana is in the Eastern Time Zone despite being physically in Central. In my opinion, having clocks an hour fast in March and November sucks. For me, light in the morning is far more important than light in the evening. But then again, I don't like it in the summer either. It is harder to go to sleep at a decent hour if the sun is still up. Maybe I am just a retrogrouch when it comes to clocks.

Back to Indiana. Starting next April most of Indiana will be almost two hours ahead of "sun time" until the end of October since the state will start observing DST. Maybe all you late sunset lovers should move to Indianapolis!

And to pick nits with your headline, there will not be any more daylight to ride or do anything else. The clock hands will just be pointing differently.
