HAPPY HALLOWE’EN!

Today I didn’t ride, except to get to work. Now that it’s starting to get dark, the kids will be out trick-or-treating.

Call me a Scrooge if you like, but I don’t hand out candy. I don’t feel safe opening my door to a steady stream of people that I don’t know; and as the evening goes on, the big boys come out. They’re bigger than I am; and really too old to be out collecting candy. Talk about getting spooked!

At least the youngsters have good weather for outdoor activities tonight. It’s clear; calm; and will drop to the low 60s overnight. So it’s not so warm that costumes will get too hot; but not so cold that they have to bundle up underneath those costumes.

It looks good for tomorrow morning’s ride, too. I want to pare another 10-12 miles from those remaining before I reach my Love to Ride goal. In fact, I’m getting excited by the idea of watching the final 240 miles fade away. It looks like I might make it by the middle of November!

But at the moment, I’m just taking it easy. If a night ride is your thing, watch your spokes!

Happy Hallowe’en!
