yeah, good point! one of my challenges when I stopped regular bike commuting 8 yrs ago (& other massive cross training) was reigning in my extensive nutrition efforts

well, emergency diverted. Wifey & adult kids have developed a transportation plan for the week that doesn't require my car. worked on a cpl bikes Saturday tho. guess I'll just be joy riding after work tonight

but back to the thread essence ... cycling is the easy part, IF you don't have a 2nd physical job that kicks your a*s causing extensive physical soreness head to foot. knowing I did not have to ride today, I imagined riding anyway. either round trip or a "split" driving in yesterday & riding home Sunday evening, then riding in this morning. (which I did a lot about 4 yrs ago) didn't happen because I have a 2nd physical job that kicks my a*s causing extensive physical soreness head to foot. sometimes I feel like I helped build an 1860 railroad ... I love lumber & building materials & the physical work & I helping ppl brain storm solutions. but after getting home, washing up & laying on the carpet, that's it, I'm done. no way I'm packing up my gear driving 25 miles to ride them back home. I could do it if I had to, but I didn't have to ...
