I start as soon after 6am as I can. 6am is when the cats get feed, although they'd often prefer it be earlier.

I decided last week to take a longer ride in the morning so I wasn't doing a long ride on the weekend. Advice on cycling during the pandemic is to not go too hard or long, as depleting yourself not good for the immune system. That day I think I got up at 5:30am.

Not sure where you are in Europe, but living in Minnesota, we are well acquainted with darkness.

I was riding through mud and snow on Sunday, but seemingly endless people. I won't be riding that western route again for a while.

The northern route I did on Saturday was better, but still too many people.

My wife and I are trying to figure out an indoor bike. It is not something I have ever considered in the past, but should prove rather useful, I think.
