100% FULL MOON illumination tonight so get out and ride!!! https://www.calendar-12.com/moon_calendar/2019/may

Got out at 12:08AM Saturday after 1 hour of sleep with the MOON at 98% illumination and it was phenomenal. Turned all solid lights off leaving only blinkies on in a remote section with no houses and it was eerie yet calming. Goal was 100 miles in 6 hours but due to 2 comfort breaks timing wasn't looking good with 15 miles to ride. Some fast thinking with the solution being a criterium type of ride in the streets by my house. Managed to complete with seconds to spare then wound down or another mile. Back home and take a long HOT shower, take care of the munchies, chill out a bit then off biking to drug store and then food shopping. Got an additional 24 miles so hit my secondary goal of 125 miles.
