[Jolly Amaranto]

My morning bike ride. When school is in session I wait till after the school zones have cleared but in the summer I go right around sunrise. That is the "coolest" part of the day around here. I just zone out as much as possible and enjoy the new day. I ride a lot of relatively rural roads with little traffic and opportunities to see wildlife, although some of it is road kill unfortunately. Hawks, herons, crested caracara, deer, bob cats, feral hogs and even an occasional alligator.
