The after work sunset rides are back. What a great opportunity to wind down. I have always found the sunset rides to be a source of time for reflection. It is so quiet up on the canal road with the exception of  nature and water sometimes breaking it's plain as it moves southward to surrounding farms. The sunsets and valley views are spectacular and inspiring. 

The one price of admission is the ride back in the dark. After all you can't have a sunset without a sundown. Personally I love the cool breeze. In case you were wondering what that feeling of eyes being on you when your out in the woods after dark I have learned that it really is eyes watching you. Those creepy nocturnal beasts are probably wondering when you are leaving. My new 1600 lumen flashlight is great for seeing those nocturnal peepers and is fantastic for lighting up the road. I love it.

"Are you leaving?"
