I'm not usually up so early on a Saturday, but I was today. 

Of course the streets are virtually empty, and the air has a nice chill to it. Surprising you can smell flowers in bloom all around the place. Must be from the gardens behind the houses? Not sure. 

Thought it might be good to do the southern loop because the casual strollers would still be asleep or eating brunch, and the theory turned out to be correct. A fair number of joggers and other bikers, but that's much easier to navigate. 

Only downside to such a ride is that I was over too soon! I seriously wanted to ride another few miles, but called it a day anyway.  

Map: 49.4 minutes, 8.4 miles.
