cycling in the morning

I left home before 07:00 this morning, cycling under a red dawn on streets I expected to find a good deal quieter than they in fact turned out to be. The weather is finally getting summery again after a month where it'd dipped into the teens. The red/orange haze in the eastern half of the sky was reflected on the buildings downtown and smeared across the road before me as I went. It was nice.
The reason I set off so early was to write a practice test in advance of the exam I'm facing. I got the results I needed, but still missed a number of questions. Naturally, when re-writing them without a count-down clock bearing down on me, I got all but one of those right. Lousy time pressure!
