Smile Spring Forward, Fall Back...

While some of us is waiting for Spring for nice riding conditions, myself I can't wait for Spring back, not Fall Forward. This is in reference to Daylight Saving Time. In the Spring, we spring foward 1 hour...this year it happens to be on March 11th.

Most of us gets off work at 5pm or maybe 6.....once Spring forward...I get to ride an extra 2 hours if i wanted too...if you play golf, it's the same thing as twilight special...

I think many of us may feel the same!!! The best is when daylight last until like 8:30 -9pm....priceless

I hate losing an hour of sleep but it's nice because now I get to go to work with the sun up. Makes waking up at 5am a little less sucky.

Summer time, I have to rush to call mainland for my order and stuff before they close. It's almost feel like by the time I start working, east coast people are getting off work.

I never lived in the area where time change. I wonder how it feels..

Daylight Savings Time is my fav holiday. Extra hour of daytime? Yes Please. Spring coming? Yes Please. And now that I have Sundays off, losing an hour of sleep is whatever.

If you are like me and always forget when it is gonna happen then its very confusing LOL. I always wake up either feeling like i got too much sleep (in the fall) or like i didn't get enough sleep (in the spring).

Shoot it's this weekend? They change it so much I can't keep up. Didn't it used to be towards the end of March?
It'll be nice to have the extra light though. One of the few things I miss about Texas. It was light out until darn close til 10 in June. Here in the northeast it only lasts until about 830 on the longest days of summer.
