Usually around 9-10 am to 1-2 pm, since traffic is at it's lowest. Or from 4pm till sundown, if I am riding in a park.
Early morning traffic, people start heading out at 4-4:30 am & by 6 am it is usually packed until 9 am or so. Then 2-3pm to about 8pm it's packed on the roads again...Except Fridays, it usually starts around 10-11am with people coming back home. All day traffic on Sat & Sun.

I pedal almost the whole time while riding,
but my favorite time is in the dip of rollers when some extra juice
makes the most of my limited climbing power.
I also like spinning 110+ rpm with a tailwind.

6am in the morning. My rural hometown is pretty much dead until 7am, so I have plenty of time to get my 10.5 mile loop ride in before the school traffic starts.

Late summer evenings. I live in Amish country and many times I pass more buggies than cars! The sunsets are always beautiful, the air is cooler, and the wind is calming...

Back to Eastern Standard Time tomorrow AM so I am planning on an all nighter. Heading out 10PM tonight, riding under the FULL MOON at a comfortable pace and adding in the extra hour could yield 150 miles before sun up. After a bite to eat......200 miles would be nice.
