Gnats were out in full force last night, ate a few and caught some with my eyes. Ride home this morning with a headwind after I had to work 1 hour overtime and already tired. Called the sag support on the last 2 miles home. Stopped at the LBS to get a new mirror, they said my bike weighs about 50 pounds. Also stopped at a costume store and bought a couple mustaches. It will help in my disguise and raise my confidence level when I ride in the pitch dark parkway. Also got my new helmet light so tonight I will have more lighting. Most cars (about 1-2 every 10 minutes) drive with their bright lights on since it is so dark. It was kinda scary not having a backup lighting system. It sure is expensive to start commuting. I also had to buy a shorter time charger for my existing night rider lighting system as it was not always finished charging by the time I needed the light.
