The Day Before My Day

The Fall season is on us and the colors are in bloom. UTEs bring home a WIN and the Cougars are looking for a soft chair. The days are getting shorter, the mornings are darker and the temps a little cooler. However, with modern clothing, lights and Costco foot and hand warmers, don't STOP. Some have asked, "When will the PCRs start their rides at an earthly hour?",  and Mr. DQ-MBA found the answer:

The Day Before My Day

-by Gloria Liu, senior editor at BICYCLING- 

Apparently, feeling short on time is not unique to our modern era. In 1910, writer Arnold Bennett observed in a book, How to Live on 24 hours a Day, "Now the great and profound mistake which my typical man makes in regard to his day is a mistake of general attitude... He persists in looking upon those hours from ten to six as 'the day,' to which the ten hours preceding them and the six hours following them are nothing but a prologue and epilogue... (But) if my typical man wishes to live fully and completely he must, in his mind, arrange a day within a day."

There are a number of reasons that I often wake up pre-sunrise for trail rides--how quiet and pretty the woods are, getting my ride done, even warding off seasonal affective disorder in the winter. But my favorite thing about dawn patrol is that I roll into work feeling like I've already had a day before my day. Seeing and doing something a little unconventional before I start "adulting" at 9 a.m. makes me feel like I'm sneaking in extra adventure time, and that it all eventually adds up to some bonus living. 

However, if the early hour is a challenge, continue to ride when you can. Because NOT riding is NOT good for the soul or your health.

 Don't ever get mad while riding in Southern Utah when it's raining and verbally call out,

 "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT", because it just might start hailing .... :-)

Who knows where this is?
