I have very limited time to ride also.

during the week I'm up at 5:00am and at the gym by 5:30 (it's way to close to even other riding the 3 miles), then back home around 6:30. shower, eat again, get ready for work and leave around 7:30-7:45. drive the fun 90 minutes into Miami where I stay until 6:00pm. I get home around 7:30pm and now with daylight savings I try to get out for at least a quick, 12 mile, 45 minute ride. that typically only happens m-w-f. then I get back home, eat, shower again and head to bed. the weekends are a bit easier and I usually have no problem getting in a 25-30 mile ride on either Sat or Sun. that's all I'm up to right now.

So I don't need an EXCUSE to ride. I just kick myself in the a$$ and get out there. I need to work on the excuses I make for myself not to ride. there is the bigger problem.
