I will NOT be heading out at 6:30, that's for sure! But it was hot last year, wasn't it? I don't mind the heat, but I saw more than a few people who got sick last year.

I'm in Richmond and ride with the RABA group often. I don't know if Charlottesville has a road bike club, but if they do you could ride with them.

Have fun and enjoy that early morning riding.
