Aug-03: there's a reason I do these rides starting at dawn, or before

Today, 0430 start -- NOT 0800 as I had done three days before.
Finished at 0922.  
I.e., 4h52 rando elapsed time.

 
Cooler, overcast, humid, foggy.
Didn't put my cycling goggles / glasses on until leaving Berea at 0657.
Had to take them off when I got to Creedmoor, approx 0752,
Because they were too fogged up because of condensation to see anything.
Also, at that time, in and around Creedmoor, it was very foggy.

Starting at a more rationale pace made most of the difference.
Of course, on Wednesday, it was SIGNIFICANTLY warmer / hotter than this morning.
And there was no breeze / wind at all today; neither outbound nor homeward bound.

Oh, my clean kit was SOAKED when I finished.
Some from sweat, but mostly, I think, from condensation.

My clothes have been dryer at the end of rides where / when I got POURED upon.
That happens.
