What’s your ‘perfect’ ride?

Winter/Spring/Fall favorite local route on Saturday morning with a roll-out 30-45min before sunrise. Timing puts me on top of the first long ridge just as the sun is first appearing over the horizon. Then I drop back down into the valley and climb back up the 2nd ridge just as the sun makes its full appearance. Route follows the ridge back into town as the area is waking up before dropping back down along the river and work my way back home.

30/40 miles in length (lots of options) ~3000’ climbing/~2hr ride. Always leaves me energized for the rest of the day when I get to “wake up” with the world around me on a bike ride.
