Last night was my first "twilight" ride. Yay blinkies! No problems a-tall, except the shades. I wear Smith sliders, and I use the yellow lens for low-light conditions. I did the same (the sun had just set when I started out), and they were...okay, but it seemed like headlights were a lot brighter, and by the end of the ride things were getting pretty dim. Of course, when I took the shades off, they were pretty dim, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't pick up something with a clear lens. I also have an orange lens for the sliders, but I haven't tried them yet. What's better for twilight, yellow or orange?

Ride in this morning was great! At the first intersection I got held up from making my usual quick left by traffic, so I just...kept going straight. Result: a longer (about 15 minutes) but much more interesting and diverse commute: busy streets, quiet neighborhood streets, parks, and two different MUPs. What fun! I can't wait to invent another new route on the way home!
