Riding has momentarily made me into more of a morning person; getting up early sporadically to ride hasn't worked, getting up earlier in general seems to be doing so, and then I get up super early (or in coming progression insanely early) for a ride. Where the initial "early" is measured relative to tech startup culture ;-)
In my case it's not so much avoiding the heat, as needing
all the daylight.
Coffee fueled rides it will be.
That alas I cannot do, unless I'm going to sit around for an hour and a half and wait for the result.
Next ride has a very nice restroom fifteen miles out (actually a pair of unisex singles, just built to wheelchair size specs, and nothing apparent to stop you from wheeling your bike right in with you), will still skip the coffee, but less concern.
Might be different if I were only headed out for an hour or two for a before-it-gets-hot ride.
