The Heart of Darkness

The darkest time of the year, and despite the Solstice not being that far off, and the fact that for here, today is the earliest sundown of the year, there won't be any real relief, i.e., sunset after five o'clock, until nearly the end of January.  Ugh.  I hate this time of year.  It's dark and cold in the morning when I ride and tomorrow it's supposed to rain and snow.  Bah.  Humbug.

Stats this year to date:
Miles: 13,479 miles (23,311 KM)
Daily average: 38.96 miles per day (62.7 KM)
In this lifetime: 432, 417 miles (conservatively). (696191 KM)

But the burning question is how many golf balls did I pick up over the course of the year?

Be safe, ride lots, and love every minute of it.  That's an order!

  1. I hear you on the dark and cold...add to that a string of drab and misty days and the blahs set I quickly!

  2. I'm more interested in the number of sunbonnets! :-) Hang in there. You'll see them soon enough again...

  3. You may have to start counting every ball you pick

  4. One day past the Solstice! Now for the hard slog out of the dark. Sunbonnets may have just been a fad, but the reason for wearing them will return, sooner or later. As for counting golf balls, when I return to Las Vegas next week, there will be a reckoning!
