Yes, it gets dark too soon and chilly here once the sun sets. I might be uncomfortable in the heat, but with the cold all my body functions shut down. I lose the feeling in my hands and face. My eyes water, my nose starts running like a faucet and I have to slow way down. The ride just becomes miserable. Better not to ride than to get home and feel, thank God that's over.
