Always funny to read something like this, but I'm in the same boat as well. Honestly you've answered your own question - wakeup early. I wakeup at 4:30 everyday so have a good rhythm in place - but I still struggle to leave earlier then 6am. It's hard to convince myself to wakeup earlier, even at the usual time on weekends.
If I'm on a long ride or know I will need to I pack a lock cable, plan the route past a friendly area with a restroom, and bring some moist wipes in a Ziploc to stay fresh.
Well you're all welcome for this Monday morning tmi
