That one thing? It cleared up as I warmed up and got to work. That bright shiny thing was visible in the sky again - what do they call that, sun? Beautiful day for a ride, and I have to work. Best I could do was make a wrong turn and add another mile.
lol yeah I had bright sun less than a mile from the office, shining right in my face in some areas, which made it very hard to see in my helmet mirror. And of course motorists were approaching from behind, which is why I always run flashing lights in daylight. I usually stop about halfway in the mornings to switch one of my lights from steady to flashing.
