    So, we have an upcoming blood moon lunar eclipse on Sunday Night, January 20th.
    My company has joined the enlightened age and I now have MLK day off.
    (even though I am planning a morning ride on Monday)

    Here's a probably poorly formatted schedule of the eclipse.

    6:36 pmSun, Jan 20 Penumbral Eclipse beginsThe Earth's penumbra start touching the Moon's face. [​IMG]77° 18.2°
    7:33 pmSun, Jan 20 Partial Eclipse beginsPartial moon eclipse starts - moon is getting red. [​IMG]84° 29.4°
    8:41 pmSun, Jan 20 Total Eclipse beginsTotal moon eclipse starts - completely red moon. [​IMG]93° 42.9°
    9:12 pmSun, Jan 20 Maximum EclipseMoon is closest to the center of the shadow. [​IMG]98° 49.0°
    9:43 pmSun, Jan 20 Total Eclipse endsTotal moon eclipse ends. [​IMG]104° 55.1°
    10:50 pmSun, Jan 20 Partial Eclipse endsPartial moon eclipse ends. [​IMG]123° 67.5°
    11:48 pmSun, Jan 20 Penumbral Eclipse endsThe Earth's penumbra ends. [​IMG]158° 74.9°

    I'm thinking about doing a BStar ride probably starting at 6:30 ish. Make it up to Beek's before the Total Eclipse begins; hang out to the max; and then descend and finish the ride as the total eclipse ends.

    Anyone have any other thoughts, or ideas?

    It'd be cool to watch from Santiago Peak. Colder than snot, though.
