I did my 5:15 AM ride this morning. It was much warmer than predicted, but the temperatures were falling as I rode. Started at 48.9 and it was 44 when i got home, just 40 minutes later. I only rode ten and a half miles, but it was really nice and peaceful! This is the earliest I've been out in awhile. I also have a new light, which is awesome. I felt like I was in my car, I could see so well.
First time that I haven't seen another cyclist in ages. There's a group I usually see on Tuesdays, around 6 AM, but I've been going to the gym on Tuesdays. Saw one runner, who I usually see in my neighborhood, but this time, I saw him in Concord center, about 4 miles away. I know it's the same guy, because he has a very distinctive headlamp and vest.
Now my day will feel calm. And much better than going to the gym.
