Grey ribbon

To Old Upper Thomson Road, 31 km. Heavy workload, heavy heart, heavy bike equipped with Cateye 10W halogen lamp (which I won in a race in 2004). The half moon turns the unlit road into a pale grey ribbon. My lamp cuts through the night with a swathe of light that sweeps the entire breadth of the road. The road at Upper Peirce is mine, all mine. Not a soul in sight, or perhaps none that I can see ... Spooky. But that doesn't deter the nocturnal activities in cars parked nearby along the road.
