    July 5th Rides

    Had a beautiful 25 mile ride this morning that started before sunrise. More trucks than I expected to see on a holiday morning - and I mean 18-wheelers (2 of them), and several huge landscaping type trucks. I have NEVER seen an 18-wheeler on "my" country roads, but they got way over in the other lane and it was fine.

    Saw lots of animals, and just had a great time!

    Riding at sunrise is awesome. I might have to do it tomorrow, because it's so hot.

    Ooh, sounds like fun. I'm taking the day off, as my quads are killing me.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    It was a lot of fun I will do this again, and try to get out even earlier so I can get a taste of night-riding. I am an early-bird by nature, so that is much safer for me than staying out late.

    I had planned a 16 mile ride for today, but it's been rainy all day and I don't do rain. Darn it, this is going to put me behind in my goals for the week, but maybe I can find a way to make up the mileage somehow.

    OP, your sunrise ride sounds great, except for those passing big rigs.

    Rode to Costco.
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
