Lunch break isn't a bad idea. I'd give the new job a few months before doing that, because I'm guessing even an 'hour' ride is probably more like 75-90 min without doing work once prep & recovery time is added on.

I was riding at least 15 miles a day 4 days a week on my lunch break until it started hitting 100 degrees. Then it was not feasible to get back to my desk without a shower. I tried one day because I was really wanting to ride. P-U.
