Weekends...I totally prefer the morning - especially when the summers get hot and sticky. In the winter, I'm willing to do an afternoon ride...but if you don't take care of your other domestic "stuff" first...your whole day is shot. The Saturday group ride we do leaves (PROMPTLY!) at 7:30. It's great to be back at the car at 10 a.m., having just done 40 miles. There. It's done for the day and you have the whole day ahead of you! The Sunday ride leaves at 8:30(ish). That's okay, but it starts to get a bit too hot by the end. I'd do early rides all the time if I could drag DH out of bed at a decent hour. He loooves to sleep in on the weekends. As much as he loves that Saturday ride, the start time makes him cranky!
