Early morning rides..

[Digby]

Having just got in from popping down to see some old workmates (night shift), I have to say that early mornings are rather bloomin' superb for having a play on your bike aren't they?.I left my house to visit them at around 11pm last night (my first night time ride) and had a great ride down, but coming back, with the sun just poking its nose over the horizon and almost every single road empty, the ride was simply something else.

7.00am on a Summer's Sunday morning is fantastic

Aye, 715 this morning, Solihull - Kenilworth - Warwick - Fosse Way - Coventry - home.

Nice hour out on the bike, hardly any traffic too!

ETA: Just need to watch out for rabbits etc that time of day. Not sure I would do 'the moors (any)' first thing, deer and sheep are a little more troublesome!

I was all for early morning rides, until 0540 this morning when I got 3 points and £60 from a copper with a hand held laser gun!

Maybe thats a bit too early. Still got the night shift on! Got to think what a saddo that he just didnt give you a warning!

I do wonder where the police leave their common sense sometimes!

Went out on a few really early mornings last year (3-4 am) but it was a bit too early. Last Sunday I left my house at 7.15 and on a road where normally you don't get much over 50 because of all the cars you could do 130 if you wanted.

Well of course. Wouldn't want to be doing that on a public road, think of the kittens.
