I cycle best by starting off early in the morning. It's a carry-over from where I used to live where it got hot and humid.

Where we live now, is perfect weather since to me, it never gets too hot/too humid. It is a great feeling to roll off round 7:30 am at the latest or early on weekends. And finish cycling by 10:00 am or so. Leaves rest of weekend day free.

On weekdays I have to leave the house with my commute at 5:30 am. But I'm pleased since roads are quiet and can hear birds chirping.

For evening rides, I prefer something easier..downhill or less hillier. And no, I don't want to cycle much after supper. When we did self-loaded cycle touring, I found at max., I had only enough enthusaisam to cycle no more than 8-10 kms. to and from restaurant. But yea, I'll do the 35 kms. cycle from the restaurant..in the evening...when earlier during the day, we already cycle-toured with our loads for 50-60 kms.
