Sunrise

Used to crank frequent long distance cross-country road rides back in the day, before MTB's came along. Twenty miles +. Some great rolling SWPA backroads directly out the from door of the sanctum. Currently have consistently been hitting up a before sunrise "every day but Sunday" ten miler. A rolling F1 track. 270 miles/monthavg - (say) 11mphavg. Not bad. The alternate could be stumbling about the back yard pullin' weeds - or pushin' 'em. 

Always an inspiration:

Since the local high schools have recently been back in session we've discovered that there is, apparently,  a few early morning/before school "make out" pull offs along our route. Our near silent, quick moving, white (t-shirt) clad apparition materializing from out of the cemetery darkness drove 'em off each instance - and fast. Pretty funny. We wonder what later tales were generated, if any.

Reminded us of the old Disney Scarecrow of Romney Marsh TV series from way back ('63). Remember when right after the first Sunday night airing that every eight-year-old kid in the neighborhood was runnin' around wearin' a Scarecrow hood that his mom sewed together from an old pillowcase.
