Tough when you work a 9-5 M-F Shift. Weekend Newbie for life.
I've done 1000+ mile months while working 45-55 hours a week. It is possible to get a lot of cycling in and still lead a full and busy life. One of the things I did back in the days when I was doing 1000+ mile months more regularly was to commute to and from work 5 days a week. (13.4 km * 5)*4 = 268 km of cycling in commuting alone. And then I would swing by home at the end of the day, grab a quick snack, and be out on the bicycle until dark.

These days I walk to work so I'm not getting the commuting distances in.
