No. You are not alone. If it isn't work, it's family obligations, or church obligations, or some school event, or the weather goes bad, or *something*.
I try to be purposeful about my riding plans. I will actually tell people "no" on some things because I have a ride planned. But that approach can only go so far.
The other thing I've done is to map out some road/street-routes around town for when I don't have a lot of time. I've a short loop I do from one end of town to the other, for when I've got only 30 minutes or so. I've got a longer road loop for when I've got maybe an hour or ninety minutes.
Today and tomorrow I'm on call and limited in where I can go. So I will take my Giant STP two blocks down to the skate park and play around there a bit. At least I'll be on two wheels.
