I hear they hang out at the grassy knolls.

It takes an amazing amount of courage to roll out into the cold world when virtually everyone else is tucked in under a warm comforter.

When I was young and devoid of responsibility, I used to go cycling at 5:30 or 6:00 every morning. It was the only time of day when I could ride fast and hard and not worry about heavy traffic. I felt more alive because I was pushing the bounds while the rest of the world slept.

By the time I returned home, sweating, at 7:00, I was ready for whatever the day threw at me. My head was clear, and I was happy.

These days, getting the kids up and out of the house has to take priority. So I ride later on, and instead of a high-performance ride in the country or up a mountain, it’s a commute through traffic to work. But someday soon, I’ll get back to those solitary moments of clarity. And I’ll be right back where I started.

Good on you.

Of course, it also makes me think you are a tad masochistic, but that’s because I’m a wimp who prefers to sleep in until 9 am! I hope the hamstring feels better soon!

Well, I enjoy the car ride home when I know it is over for another 23 hours. But I am thinking of signing up again…sick, isn’t it?

And I have noticed I am never cold until the stretching at the end. That is when I whine the loudest to make it stop!
