Early Morning Rides
Rain/snow/ridiculously low temperatures permitting, and now that the paths are clear of snow and ice, I like going on bike rides in the early mornings. It is a great way to start my days.
In particular, I like this loop: it is short enough for me to do in less than one hour, but long enough to feel like a good workout.
There are two upsides of riding early: multiuser paths are almost empty, and some days, you might get the best possible light.
Good light makes for good photos, at least in theory.
