Sometime riding into a sunset is pretty nice

I actually thought about this for my 2016 ride across the prairies. I felt it was more likely drivers would be blinded at dawn when riding east than at sunset riding west. Mainly because I usually get an early start and would be on the road then but sunset in the summer is not until 9pm or later so I'd more likely not be still riding.

If I preferred a later start that might be reversed.
