Active Monkey Posted June 15, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterbean Posted June 15, 2013 Share 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.

XXL Posted June 15, 2013 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chro Mo Posted June 15, 2013 Share 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.

FlashJordan Posted June 15, 2013 Share 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. pastapouch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mads Posted June 16, 2013 Share 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. mrbaker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
