Quick-service queues stack between 11:30 and 1:30. Plan around them.
2 PM to 6 PM
Mid-afternoon dip is real but brief
The window around 2 PM is your friend. Use it on Rapterra or whatever you've been putting off.
8 PM to 9 PM
Closing rush is your friend
Lines drop sharply once the night winds down. Wait it out, then re-ride.
