I also HATE early mornings. However, living down in St. George requires dragging my lazy butt out of bed to beat 90 degrees. Riding down Snow Canyon and feeling a chill is splendid. The 100 degree evening rides are treacherous, and that’s with the sun on the way down.

You know, your TdF flat stage viewing technique would work equally well for any and all NASCAR events too.

Fatty,

It was great to read your post on the joys of “Dawn Patrol”. Whether it is riding, running, skiing (water or snow), surfing or swimming, getting outside before sunrise is one of the joys of life.

And I love your metric conversions!

Thanks,

Brad

Fatty,

Couple of things:
255.37 Kelvin = -17.78 celsius definitely not hot…. Water freezes at 0 degrees celsius

Early morning rides in here in Sydney are accompanied by a good dose of Frost at the moment, unusual cold snap going through. So your post has me longing for our summer.

Good post

Cheers

Andrew

Don’t feel bad about watching the crashes over and over again. It’s like a toothache. Ever notice that when you have a toothache you just cant resist poking at it with your tongue, a toothpick, or a 10-penny nail? Your brain is saying “man that tooth hurts, I wonder if it will hurt when I poke it…. OUCH!!!… .yep, hurts a lot. Hmmm, wonder if it hurts now…. YOW!! yep, still hurts.”

For obvious reasons, I myself am a huge fan of the letter “C.”

Hey Fatty, Have you noticed Bob Roll’s new hairdo this year? You have inspired him to go with the bare head. No need to worry about the receding hairline or the ridiculous tuft of frontal hair.

My biological clock says 4 am, no alarm clock needed.
My wifeological clock says I better be damn quiet rolling out of bed that early.

OR if you’re like me, you get up at 5:30 AM to do a 30 mile ride with friends and forget as you pull into your garage when you get home that your bike was just two seconds ago on TOP of your car and is now a crumpled mess . . . on top of your car, but your car does now in fact fit in the garage.
