We cross 1000 cycling miles this year

And all but about 25 miles of it in Leisure World.

And, sort of weirdly (and sort of not), all but about 25 miles in the dark.

We cycle very early in the morning, actually very very early in the morning.  We started doing this last year when it was hot during the day, and found out it is easier and safer.    So we have just altered our lives to be up well before anybody else (and to bed before anybody else.......or at least anybody else normal).
