Ditto. Takes me minimum of 1.5 hours to get out of the house: breakfast, feed horses, clean stalls, feed/walk dog, ride bicycle. I'll get up a 0530 after I retire so I can ride at 0730 latest.
What I don't understand are clubs that start weekend rides at 0930 or 1000. Anything over 40 miles takes the better part of the day. Even after retirement life's too short to burn a whole day riding a bicycle.
