    You must be really young then.
    Or especially dozy...

    Anyways, I always wake up around or before 6, but it's too far to the nearest decent road. Back when I lived in the 'tron, I didn't have a decent bike.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Shit, I was serious... my current shitty samsung phone has 5 alarms and I set all of them... I'm 26 so just dozy I guess.

    Neither of the above - all in fine working order...

    The reality is as I said. If I want to ride (and I do) I have to do it before work, not after. Before I had the bike I used to sleep in until 9.00 am every morning...now I get up to get out on the bike...

    Now that's the sort of stuff I like to hear! Carpe diem indeed!

    Getting up for an early ride would simply have to be the best. I used to train race horses and it's an amazing feeling galloping around a race track just as the sun rises. There's other morning rides that are simply delicious too!! Gotta make the most of life while you're living it! Good on ya.

    wicked pictures! i wish I could get up early to go for a ride before I have to go to work! I get up at 540, leave home at 6 to get to work (but I suppose I do ride to work sometimes too....) but riding TOO work isnt the same as a cruisey ride.....

    Chicks and their morning glory sheeesh, burp , fart, scratch me nutts and roll over is more like me !
    But then i got all day for other stuff like RIDing
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    If you have a look at the "Waikato Tag-o-Rama" thread, you'll see where I went this morning...

    Fixed it for ya...

    I already have a video camera...one of those crappy ATC2K things.

    It can produce reasonable stuff for YouTube though...IF I get it pointing in the right direction... Last footage was of the road hurtling below underneath the bike...

    I've been through a bit of that from time to time myself. NOT so good...

    One of the few benefits of living here is that there are so many interesting rides so close to home - and pretty much accessible without a commute either. I live in the south west corner, almost on the southern boundary, so five minutes up the road is all the twisty hilly stuff...
