I may have cried a little at the beautiful sunrise over Lake Washington

That sunrise! And the light of it on Mt Rainier, with Lake Washington spreading out below! That was worth the ride right there. And let's face it--if I weren't dragging myself out of bed for STP, there is no way on earth that I would be up riding my bike early enough to catch a summer sunrise and its unique quality of light.

It's such a beautiful area--how lucky are we to get to ride our bikes here!

I often do short rides where I see the sunrise over the Concord River.
No matter where I am, on my rides in the early AM, it's just awesome.
However, this does sound like an epic experience, with the heat and hills.
