Pitch dark at 5PM. This sucks. No chance to ride outside after work now until March at least.

Totally with you, it blows. Weekend rides only.

We do have some core mtn bikers that do night rides, but I stopped that a couple years ago.

Impossible to leave work earlier and NVGs aren't good enough for riding.

One of the propositions on the ballot tomorrow in Cali is to open the door to getting rid of time changes, IF the Feds implement such a change - smh

Good lights are cheap these days. I'd still stay off the roads; any decent trails nearby? Maybe an excuse for another bike.

I hate it. I don't even change my clocks in the house. My internet connected devices update on their own. Plus, I hate being in the dark in the evening. Just seems like I should be going to bed that much sooner.The evening is really when I have time to do stuff, so it being dark kind of hampers cutting grass, washing the car etc. I'd rather get up in the dark than go home in the dark.

Cali seems to have passed the prop to go with whatever the Feds do.

But we could not repeal the gas tax. I guess now we'll have "better " roads.

California is going to turn shitty now, but I'll wait it out. Nothing to see around here anyways.

I'm shocked the gas tax repeal didn't pass. CA is full of stupid idiots. I wonder how many illegals voted and how many times.
