I hope I'm not wrong in assuming that most people here are "9 to 5ers"?
If that's the case that you are, what do you do about your riding now that it's getting darker earlier? As I've mentioned, I like riding the mtb on the road. And while I have a Blackburn front and rear light, it gets dicey riding on the road in the dark... even in the wilds of Tinton Falls, even with the lights (i'd rather ride the NJTP above Exit 11 than take on Shafto Road :scared: ).
Trail riding at night is out of the question, I presume (I'm not that much of an adrenaline junkie). I see myself limited to a quick 35-45 mins. in the evening on the local roads... shorter time reduces the chances of becoming a statistic.
I'd like to get a stationary trainer that I can keep in the garage; I can plug in the laptop or portable dvd player and have at it. Or is there something else you do to keep up with your riding, apart from the weekend daytime rides?
