Morning is my absolute favorite time to ride. Peace and quiet.

I find my morning rides exteremely refreshing. It's usually out of the oppressive heat. There is little or no wind. I love that quiet time. No traffic where I ride either. The only sounds I hear are those of the pedals turning, that sweet music of the chain going round and round and the ZzzzZzzzZzzz of the tires on the road. It is such a mesmerizing sound, puts you in a trance. We have so much sensory overload in our world today that the ability to have a couple of hours of silence to me is invigorating.

I also usually find the times I'm so tired and have no interest in riding turn out to be some of the best rides of the season. Not sure why. Perhaps because I start off easier just to actually warm up instead of hammering right out of the gate.

Also, love the fact that by the time I get home at 9 or 10 Saturday morning most of the neighbourhood is just waking up and I've done more phisical activity than most will do all week!

Glad you enjoyed the AM.
