though I just got a HRM and am figuring out how to integrate it

During my work week (four days/week) I pretty much can't ride until summer kicks in and it is lighter later in the day/evening. For the three days I'm off, I try to cram in miles. It's not a good way to do it, granted. My long day now is 50 to increase to 60 -- the other day(s) I try to do 20-40/ea. There are times I get up early to go to spin class before work but I am not a morning person!

I guess, I don't know. I like seeing the miles go up on my odometer so that's why I do it the way I do it. Oh and I've been known to ride by time if I have appointments or something; I just ride for an hour or two or whatever amount of time I have.

(then again I'm not high miles and when I was way back when, I worked part time and had more of a life)
