I have always thought there is something peaceful about morning. I don't mind getting up early to fit training in - especially if it means I'll be able to fit more things in the rest of the day.
This morning on my ride I did some repeats - both on flat land and up hills. I accidentally ran over some road kill (sorry Kestrel!) My favorite part of climbing hills is the awesome view you get on the way down. This picture doesn't do any justice to the beauty of a lagoon with the ocean beyond, but I figured you might get a small taste of it.
