I do not like sunset at all. Either the sun is in my eyes or it is in my mirror, which means it is in my eyes. And if it is in my eyes, it is in the eyes of the driver that is heading straight towards me.

But, after the sun has set and it is still quite light out, the wind has died down, if I will be sleeping indoors I enjoy riding then. But if sleeping in a tent, and that tent is still in my pannier, I will wish I had my tent up at least a few hours earlier.

It is personal preference. I am often riding in the morning before most people have gotten out of the tent.
