Usual early ride to the train station, this time heading to Guildford.

I started at 6:30 at the beginning of my route. The sky already looked amazing, and I kept stopping to take photos — it’s just part of my riding, I guess. This time the views were truly stunning; you can see for yourself if you like them too.
