Night Rider

It's officially time for another update. I haven't been blogging much lately and I'm not sure why. I'll blame it on being too busy, but it might just be that I'm too lazy. At least I'm not loquacious(means wordy). It was a busy and rainy Saturday this past weekend. I was running errands and working around the house and getting things accomplished. One thing I didn't get done was a bike ride. When things finally settled down around 9:45pm I decided that it was time. I had charged my headlight during the day in anticipation of not being able to get out until after dark. I geared up and hit the road a little after ten. I rode over to the Great Western Trail and followed it into town. I grabbed the camera on my way out to see if I could get any decent night shots. First picture stop was at the Grays Lake bridge. It turns out I'm not very good at working the camera at night. I took some pictures anyways and continued on. It happened to be opening night for the Iowa Cubs. I rolled up to the stadium about eleven. It was empty but the lights were on and the grounds crew was busy. I snapped a few pics and thought it was about time to head for home. As I was rolling around the stadium I decided to head over and try to get a good shot of the converted railroad bridge. I got a few pics there too then it was off toward home. As I was heading home I noticed lightening off to the west. I was really hoping to not get soaked. The rain stayed away and I ended the ride with just over 25 miles. I had forgotten how nice riding at night can be. Some of the pictures turned out ok. The little 3 inch screen on the camera doesn't really do a picture justice like my 19" monitor. Here are a few of my favorites.
