Gravel Bike 2:15:00 [3] 26.2 mi (11.6 mph)
Rain at 4 pm meant I was done work early!
The wind certainly didn't die down as the rain went through. About 8:30 pm, Paul and I set off on the Greenway with the intent to ride in the dark. And when we were tired (I have been stumbling into bed by 9:30 lately, so this was a very late night for me).
I will mention that hearing the BOOM of fireworks close to the trail (before I clued in to the source of the noise) was startling (I am sure Queen Victoria was honoured, as usual).
Clear safety glasses without an anti glare coating this time did the trick. Paul's Bontrager handlebar light made it look like a train was coming down the trail, but like all bike/hiking lights, it wears down the juice exponentially quickly at the top brightness. One setting lower works fine too. I had put Paul's Light&Motion light on my helmet (hadn't tried it out that way yet) and it is fine, but not as strong as my heavier Seras light.
