I also enjoy the stillness of the air at night and the cool breeze. It's exhilarating. One time I rode for 3 hours straight.
So what do you think of this? Have you ever done it yourself?
I did this exact thing for the exact same reason when I lived on arguably "The worlds most popular beach".
Which was also the worlds most congested tourist ridden suicide death trap much of the year. Not only during the weekdays but even worse on weekends.
I dont see anything problematic other than depending on your specific local , I got too used to cool light breezy nights with very low humidity. When I hit up a group ride during the day and ran back into 100* @ 100% humidy, it was a new kind of death.
But you gotta do what you gotta do in order to put the miles in.
