bike is then either in the garage downstairs or bike room next door. might be another 2 minutes to walk over there and unlock. attach phone and varia. spin the cranks and zero the PM. another minute?

all in, probably 6-7 minutes from stopping whatever i was doing before to rolling. the other end is a bit slower due to showering and drying off.

if i’m exploring a new route, any route planning would have happened on some downtime on another day, not right before the ride.
