Lunar Eclipse Ride
It was beautiful tonight. The roads were almost empty, the trails were quiet except the coyotes. The Lunar Eclipse taking place. Tonight was a very peaceful solo ride.

Cool! Did you bike naked? It's a Druid thing... has to do with the eclipse coinciding with solstice.

Very nice. The cloud cover here prevented me from watching it, which is fine, I preferred to sleep through it anyway.

What kind of light do you have on the front of your bike? It seems to do a great job lighting up the trail. May be doing some nithg MTB this year...errr next year.

The light is fantastic, I love it. By far IMO the best light for the $$. It's called an Amoeba. The lights are made here locally but can be purchased from anywhere. The guy who builds them stands behind them %100 also.

Fantastic pics! I wanted to see the solstice, but, in Seattle, it's not that common that we can see the sky this time of year. Thanks for posting these.
