Looking out my window here at work and the sun is already below the tree line. :tdown: Before I know it I’ll be driving home in the dark at 5pm. I really miss having at least a little daylight after work. ---

I wanted to get in a 2 hour ride today-not happening unless I want to bust out the lights today. It is so depressing, in the summer I could think about leaving my house for a 2 hour ride at 7pm, now I have to get out in the middle of the day or else I don’t ride. I miss seeing daylight at 9pm, that fucking rocks ---

I enjoy the dark drive in to work (~6:30). I’m sad to see it go. ---

I’m interested to see what other people think here, because I’m the total opposite of the first 3 replies. While I will say I’m not exactly a fan of the shorter evenings, I LOVE getting up with the sun. It’s so much more depressing getting up when it’s pitch black out and driving into work in the darkness. I guess it helps too that I get out at 3:15 so it’s still light out when I leave pretty much any time of the year. ---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ---------- > [@ProgRocker](#): > > I enjoy the dark drive in to work (~6:30).

I don’t get why we still need to fall back, we’re not that agrarian of an economy any more. Who cares if it gets light out at 5am or 6am? Do away with it and go permanent daylight savings. ---

^Not a big fan of the sun blinding me in the morning on the way to work while Im still half asleep. I’ll take an hour more sunlight after work then during work any day. ---

I think I’m gonna pick up a cheap Cycleops just to have something My GF got me a Cycleops from Toms Pro Bike and I like it, nice trainer. I do those SPinervals workouts with my buddy, it atleast makes the trainer time not suicidal. I am amazed at how quick 2 hours on a bike outside goes and how LONG 30 minutes on the trainer takes. ---

Could be. Psh, it’s like a month a year where the kids would have to wait in the dark. They should suck it up and watch for headlights. Krant, I’m planning on playing XBOX while I use the Cycleops lol ---
