I've actually only recently been taking the sun and time of day into consideration. Yesterady I altered my route to avoid the round-about near my house at the bottom of a hill I have to climb. Drivers bomb that hill and hate to slow down for anything. Even without the sun in their eyes, I get drivers pulling out in front of me or nearly hitting all the time. So yesterday knowing some lady in an SUV with one hand trying to block the glaring sun barrelling down the hill is something I didn't want to deal with. So I took the long way.

I've got a few hills I would love to bomb near my house, but it's just too unpredictable for the commute. But I kamikaze on the weekend mornings with no issues at all.

Anywho, from story #1, nice job on the maneuver.
