When do you get time to ride

[Active Monkey]

Most people have a 8 to 5 job which means you are at work earlier than 8 to avoid traffic. I start at 6 and work till 3 or 4 depending on the workload.

 

My question when do you get time to ride....i would love to ride more but just don't get time during the week

[Butterbean]

Bought a good set of head- and tail lights... Ride at around 6:30... Suburban roads, nice quick hour/hour and a half ride. In between, it's IDT interval sessions.

 

I find if I go before I eat dinner, it's much better.

 

Ride even if you have a had a long day/you're tired/its hot/its cold.

 

Just get on the bike.

I am in the same boat...leave at 7 and home after 5. I ride the indoor bike during the week ( not ideal, I know) and the bicycle on the weekend!

[Chro Mo]

Early morning rides for me - 4.15am - 6am ....zero cars. Then a mtb ride mid-week/Thursday (my only day off).

 

Problem is I have to go to bed early to get enough sleep.

 

Otherwise indoor trainer.

 

Bit of a bitch.

 

I often wonder how people get in their training and become really good as nine to fivers.

Don't underestimate the value of a 60 min ride -

 

20 min warm up

30 gooi gooi!

10 minute cool down.

Go to bed early twice a week 2/5

 

Head out at 5 Brrrrr

 

One long ride on the weekend.

04h30 to 7am rides 3 or 4 times during the week. Riding with a group makes it easier. Must say winter is tough to get out the front door! Enter the Jock for some added winter motivation.

0430 - 0630 3 workdays a week, and up to 5 days a week lunchtimes for up to 2 hours - starting anytime from 11am till as late as 2pm - weekends are rest days mostly.

Did you ride this morning? Around 11:30 on Kelly?

[the racing bug]

i ride to work, leave at 6am, depending on route i take...in spring/summer i ride at 530am during the week...if its raining or really bad weather im on the IDT..

 

I know some elite riders (that has a full time job) in the cape ride at 430am...in winter..and some riders i know use the IDT for 70% of their training time..

Weekends i ride either the sun or sat and do a 30 to 40 offroad or i do at least a event a month.

It is all about priorities. If it is important enough, you will have lots of time.

 

BTW If you stop working at 3 in the afternoon, you have plenty time. If you meant 3 the next morning, you seriously need a new job.
