15 minutes or so. And yes, I am retired

Edit: Add
extra time for bathroom break, if necessary. Better before than during the ride.
Always !!!!
A consideration always is how long the ride intent is.
In my case, it's always 1.75 - 2 hr ride min. which will vary depending on conditions of ride and condition of the legs...
Longer rides or difficult weather will mean a bit longer prep.
The Frau is always surprised when still I'm pokin around 10 mins after announcing "I'm gonna ride".
I've yet to ask her how long it takes her to prep for going anywhere...

Ride On
