Mid summer the best time to hit the road here is 5:00 AM on a Sunday

Deserted streets and ideal temps.

The only caveat is any vehicles encountered will be piloted by a drunk that's been partying all night or someone in a hurry, late for the early shift, and half asleep.

Be really careful passing a doughnut shop!

Fortunately, at that time in the morning you can smell them blocks ahead.
