The past few mornings here have been my ideal. Temp in the low 50s, heading out around 5:20am. Not a car in sight, birds singing, mist rising off the water at all the little ponds and swamps and lakes I pass. Somehow the air is just so much more fresh at dawn. What a fabulous way to start the day!

day after rain when air is clean and you can see for miles and miles. Temperature I like is between 45F (7C) and 75F (23C).
And for once in my life I would love to have steady 20MPH tail wind the whole ride. I like any time of the day.

I like it around 75 F, winds SSE at 5 mph, 30% humidity, and low pollen count.

Ideal weather would be sunny and not too windy. I'd say 75-80 degrees would be ideal. I love it when the breeze feels like a relief on my skin.
I also really love my spring morning commutes. I love the birds and smelling the lilacs on my way to work. Things are quiet and still...but I think I like the sunny afternoon rides even better!2007 Trek 5000
