47 minutes
easy to moderate pace (closer to easy)
5:40am - clear and cool - same route into work as always (without Yuri Pass) - got onto fire road just in time to see the sun come up over Baseline Reservoir and make Bear Peak and the Flatirons orange - saw two herds of mule deer (one on the knoll between fire road and Yuri Pass and the other on the little saddle west of NCAR and north of fire road) - saw a few runners out there as well as a couple of climber dudes hiking up fire road with tons of climbing gear (they were up early for a mega day of rock climbing) - felt great.
