Another ride down to Taylor's Island this evening, 20 miles out and back with an average speed of 16.9 mph. The scenery isn't as nice as most of my loops, but the shoulders are very wide and well paved. It's good for sustained cadence.
The sun was setting as I pushed off and it was almost dark when I made the turn for home. The headlight was dead when I hit the switch. Why? I've got a smart charger for the battery, but a not so smart operator. The lesson of the day: Check the charge before pushing off on an evening ride. Luckily, I have a small backup light permanently attached to each of my bikes. It was enough to get me home safely.
