I work a lot of hours and admittedly, there are weeks were I don't get to bike at all except on weekends. When you have to be in at 7 am and you don't get home until 8 pm, that leaves little time for much of anything...let alone biking!

The best way for me to ride during the week is to commute. I do a half-commute thing where I drive in one day, ride home that evening, ride back in the next morning, and then drive home that afternoon. That way, I always have a car at work should I need to go to off-site meetings or something. I just try to get my long rides in on the weekends (one long day, one shorter one) because that's about all I can manage right now. Once things settle a bit at work, I hope to throw in a few lunchtime rides as well.

I envy those that don't work all day and can fit longer rides into their weekday activities!

Oh, and you will eventually adjust to your new schedule and you will get your energy back! I remember making the switch from school to work and it's draining at first. But you'll be used to it in a week or two!
