The rest of the ride home was uncomfortable with no rear light in the gathering gloom and increasingly heavy Snow.
A releaf to make it home unscathed.....
Whoa, that can be unnerving. I've had that happen to me and that adds stress that you don't need. I'm glad you made it home safely. I had a nice ride in this morning, a little gloomy but balmy by our winter standards (30F/-1C). The sun is suppose to break through the clouds today, that will be a nice change, it's been a while.
