Time Change!

As everyone knows, this past weekend we turned the clocks back one hour.  While the time change is not a critical event for most, those of us who live an active lifestyle in the outdoors have to face the reality that afternoon workouts may now be nearing the twilight hours.
For runners, cyclists, and drivers alike, please keep in mind that the time change can affect how well people can see you during your workout as the daylight generally makes you more visible.  If you are working out or driving near twilight, dawn, or in the dark please remember these few tips.
Runners and cyclists:

• Wear bright colors
• Wear reflective swatches and clothing
• Carry a flashlight or wear a lighted vest/ headlamp

Drivers:

• Be mindful that regardless of the time of day, someone may be out along the road
• With the seasons changing, animals are more active as well so please be mindful of them as well
• Should you see runners or cyclists, give them at least three feet of space and slow down when possible.

Thanks and Stay Safe Out There!
