Great hours; 4 to 6 AM is the best time of day to ride IMO. The drunks are off the road (2 AM closing time in Mass), the midnight shift has not departed, and the usual commuting lemmings are not out yet.
I idealize that those driving at that time are the righteous of the earth that the world has entrusted to get everything started and ready for the new day to dawn for the rest of us.
