have you changed your life for cycling?

too much so!i train until 11am means i have to work until 11pm,means ive zilch social life really apart from the bike,which is prob a healthier option!sleep is the new sex and i dont buy "going out clothes"

i also find ive a preoccupation with the weather!and what was a converted garage into a dining room has been gutted and is filled with bike hooks,weights etc etc,so no one can come round for dinner

Road raven, I understand your feelings exactly (looking out the window and being jealous of the cyclists going by when you are at work). This is why I'm quitting my job at the end of the school year. Yes, it is my 30th year of teaching, but because I moved and took my retirement out of my AZ account, I would be about 67 until my full retirement from MA kicked in. I am lucky that my husband makes plenty of $; I was ALWAYS the one who worked in my social circle... right from the delivery room back to school almost. In fact, I was career addicted and could never picture myself not working. People are constantly asking me what I am going to do. Let's see, Wednesday and Fridays are already taken up with club rides which I started doing this summer. .. Yes, I will look for a flexible part time job, but to start, I will do some tutoring and be able to make some good cash $. Our whole life revolves around cycling (or X country skiing, snow shoeing, hiking) and it might be weird, but I'm happy. We still go out to eat a lot, theatre, etc. I admit, my non cycling friends get on my nerves now, but I know they can't help it! (whining about how fat they are and not doing anything about it). None of them even said congratulations when I did my century!

Sorry for getting off topic here.
