I like riding that time of night, roads quieter generally.

I've gotta tinted visor so have to get home before dark or ride with it up

Bad time where i live to go riding.
All the old duffers wait until this time to go to see their fellow blue rinse posse members and visit garden centres etc.
Half of them cant see properly so bikes got no chance.

Best time is about 9pm at this time of the year. Roads are quiet but it's still light and at the moment just the right temperature. Had an amazing few rides this time of night last week.

Still thinking about going out at 5am when it's light but most people are still in bed. Bit worried about the wildlife hanging around on the roads though.

Like to do the early morning thing. I normally get back in just as most people are thinking about getting out of bed. Nothing worse than going for a ride & being stuck behind cars etc, spoils it for me.
