Do you sleep in on Saturday?
 
What the heck is wrong with you? You miss the best part of the day.I rode out of my driveway at 7:00 this morning and got back at 9:30. Since some of you lazy bums were in the bed, I'll show you what you missed.
On a side note,This ride was done on a 7" "freeride" bike. Thats for all you asking "will this bike work for me".I have it set up to be my do it all bike.

Foggy morning...

Nice pics. I am an early bird and like to be the 1st one on the trails. By 10:00 I usually finished my morning ride and eaten breakfast afterwards.

Life is too short to sleep in.

I was on the bike at 6:30 AM. Absolutely serene this morning. Still air, clear skies, green countryside. Very similar to your pics minus the fog. I got in 40 miles and was home a little after 8:30. I am an early AM rider all year long, even in the winter. I've ridden over 25,000 miles in the last 3 + years and probably 200 of them were after 9AM.

Dawn is the absolute best time to ride. :)

Hell yeah I sleep in on Saturdays! Till 8! That's the latest I sleep in all week. The shop opens at 9. Then Sundays I'm up at 5 to ride.

Took this on a early ride a few weeks ago. This is on a one-way singletrack loop here in VA. Getting uphill is tough on this one.

I was out pretending to be a roadie this morning. Got in 70 miles before 11:00.

FreeRidin' 05-12-07 04:25 PM

Maelstrom 05-12-07 05:31 PM

Nice shots...but I can't ride in the morning so I don't feel bad. I need at least 3 or 4 hours to become ride ready

Dannihilator 05-12-07 05:45 PM

Don't sleep in.

WannaGetGood 05-12-07 06:14 PM

Sleeping in is my secondary sport.

free_pizza 05-12-07 06:17 PM

Flak 05-12-07 06:26 PM

Man i miss the days when i could sleep till 9, wake up, look at the clock and roll back over till 11.

free_pizza 05-12-07 06:35 PM

actually, i woke up briefly for 15 minutes this morning at 8.00 when my girlfriend had breakfast made, ate that, had a cup of tea, and out like a light for another 4 hours :D

gr@sshopper 05-12-07 10:54 PM

kemmer 05-12-07 11:25 PM

I ride before work sometimes, but saturday mornings are for hangover recovery at least two days out of the month.

You can afford to get up that early at your age! Eat supper at 4pm and in bed by 7pm...I'd expect you to be out riding even earlier! ;)
