I had a wonderful morning yesterday. I was up quite early, put on my cycling gear and headed out just after 6:00 a.m. I met up with a couple of other guys for a ride.
We headed off from our meeting point at 6:30 and got home just after 8:00. We cycled up to Brigadoon and back. It was a ride of just over 44 km in an hour and a half. Excellent.
I got home feeling energised and ready for a full day. I still had time for a nice hot shower and a good breakfast before heading out to church with the family. I was quite amazed really. I had done so much before 8:00 a.m. and most of the day was still ahead of me. I didn’t even know that life existed before 8 o’clock on a Sunday morning.

haha, what about the guys that need to help setup church? i’m not sure how it is at other churchs but at ours we have people setting up at 6:30am. i’m there at 7:30 helping out. its amazing though what can be done so early in the morning.
Well Matt, just like you guys we meet in a recreation centre so we do need to set up and pack down.
Our service starts at 10:00. We have set up from 8:00.
I wasn’t on set up this week but I was on pack down so the times worked out really well for me. 🙂
You inspired me Rodney. I MADE myself get up early enough to go for a ride before work this morning. I have let the early morning rides slip in recent months. I feel more awake and alert today than I have felt in a very long time, so thankyou.
i should get up earlier too.
Like Matt, I am at church quite often at 7am setting up the sound gear. That means only 1 sleep in, in 7 days as I’m up at 4 every morning for work. I often hear you on your pre-recorded mid-dawn shift Rodney, knowing full well you are tucked up in bed :)Laughs: As I often say, I’m in the wrong job.
