Typically I try and make sure everything is good to go the night before, kit laid out or at least knowing what Im going to put on...think of things I might want the night before, packing the snacks etc and ideally I dont spend much time getting ready in the morning. I find its more often the case that I can get my body moving before my brain starts firing on all cylinders so Im much more inclined to roll out of bed, suit up and hit the road. by the time Im fully awake im about 5-10 miles in and feeling good. If I try and get things together in the morning before a ride I tend to forget things or just lose motivation as the darkness keeps urging me to go back to bed.
