It is nice. For a bit now I've been getting up between 5 and 5:30 am. I try to be out the door before 6 am and often am on the road by 5:45 am. The back roads I ride usually is light in traffic, but it's really light at that time, especially at that hour on Saturday and Sunday. Weekdays are light, but have to watch for those going to work at the shipyard(1st shift I believe starts at 7am). When schools are out in 3 days, it'll be even better--no more buses or HS kids going off to school--traffic will be even lighter.
