Try riding with the Florida Crew and not the HOG crew. You might find out you like us!

got a kid and a wife that i like to do stuff with. if i leave at 10-11 for a ride, i'm gone all day i usually miss some good stuff. if i start at 0700 and put in a 300 + mile ride, i still get home at a reasonable time to play ball with jr. and i'm not wiped out at night so i can hang with mom a little too.
that's just me though..

Why are all the rides at some ungodly hour of the morning?
There's rides I would love to go on but when they start at 7 or 8 am it's just way too early. I know in the summer there's the afternoon rains and heat to avoid but now that the weather is cooler, what's the reason?
Maybe if I wasn't a "night owl" I could understand early morning rides...

I don't even think I'm a "night owl", I just love my bed! But I AM going to try to get a piece of this ride tommorrow...
This is funny, you can tell who hasn't rode with the Crew before.

Your dilemma has a "field of dreams" solution. Build it.

I've had to explain this very thing to the wife...
The good Lord gave us all the same number of hours in a day, it's up to each individual to manage them accordingly.
Started back on an early schedule this year. Alarm goes off @ 4:15 Monday-Friday now, sleepin' in late on the weekends means I'm up at 6:30. Havin' said all that... call the house after 8 at night, you'll get to talk to my answering machine. I've already conked out and in bed!
I absolutely LOVE watchin' the sun rise, and the world wakin' up when I'm on my bike!
