Poll: Prime time to ride during summer?

[Cpt_Tact]

Depends on the ride I'm heading out for

For a proper blast I'll be out on my own at 7am or 8am for a few hours while the traffic is very light and I'll be home by 11am if I'm not meeting anyone. I'm not a fan of pushing on when in a group as I like to be concentrating on my riding and not wondering what everyone else is doing or where they are. I wouldn't want to encourage someone to "keep up" or talk myself into doing the same as luck like grip runs out.

If I am doing some sightseeing and a chilled out ride with some friends then any time from about 10am-9pm, midday heat doesn't bother me as I run cold, wear a vented leather jacket and I actually love the sun and the hot weather (the hotter the better).

The bulk of riders I see around this way are usually from about midday till about 5pm and it is utter carnage out on the country roads, I've even heard a couple of people in the shops moaning that it's even worse for bikers this year with the number of people on furlough and that "they are writing to their local MP to get something done"!
