Default favorite time of day to ride?

Just went out for a quick 20 minute ride around the neighborhood. I love riding when the sun is pretty low in the sky. These days, it's about 6pm. There's enough light to see, but isn't oppressively hot, and once you get through the residential parts and the "friday afternoon get me the expletive home" traffic, it's nice and quiet on the backroads of hacienda heights. Made it halfway up to turnbull canyon before i turned around and headed home due to light and time constraints.

I know alot of people like early morning riding in the twisties--i haven't had the chance to get up early enough to make it up there when it's not totally burnt

when do u guys like to ride?

early AM specially weekends. coz the crazy Cagers are still asleep. ohh but that doesnt mean im safe. There was a lady that almost run me over. she was drunk; on anti depressant meds. and i actually parked at a nearby school so she dont run me over, she followed me the whole time got out of her car coz she thought I was her biker boyfriend. lol. she said she was about to kill him (me) luckyly God saved me that morning this is 5am on a sunday.

I used to ride on weekends before 7am....6am when the sun was out early enough. It's nice to get it all done in the morning, then enjoy the rest of the day with the wifey.
