My cell phone alarm sounded at 4:14 AM with the cries of seagulls. The Sleep as Android app faded in the seagull cries but I was already awake. I tapped the button to dismiss the alarm and sat up.
Time to ride!
Last night I'd laid out my clothes. I planned to dress warmer today, in layers. I put on cycling shorts, long cycling pants, a short-sleeve jersey, long-sleeve jersey and light jacket. I wore my full-fingered gloves and socks today. It felt pretty warm getting dressed but once I was outside I was cool and comfortable.
I rode down to the post office first and checked my box. After that I went on down the trail to the intersection with the Chehalis Western Trail where I stopped and took the picture of the bike. It looks really dark, but that's just the camera. Except for some ground fog in patches, the morning was clear with lots of stars and a half-moon providing plenty of light to see. I also had my light on my helmet, so seeing wasn't a problem.
It was a nice ride and a good way to start the day!
