400 miles per month= 100 miles/week. If avg speed is 12 mph then it takes ~ 8 hours per week. A week has 168 hrs./week...surely we can claim 8 of them as "our own" ???

I know, easier to say than do. But most of us are world class excuse makers (if excuse making was an Olympic sport, I would Gold medal in it), but the reality is that the time is usually there for us if we really want it. There goes that damn brain again...getting in the way.
