when do you ride/train?

[Thorn]

Once or twice during the week and both weekend days, weather permitting. Time of day? Afternoons when it is cold, but ridable; mornings when it gets really hot.

mornings - I work late, so i don't get home till about 7PM on workdays

Evenings during the week, usually 2-3 days weather/energy levels permitting. I try to ride both weekend days, again weather permitting. If it's cold out, I ride late morning/early afternoon. When it's hot, the earlier the better, although making it to 8 a.m. club rides is a grind. I end up getting up earlier for those than I do for work.

I don't ride every day. I try to have at least one day of rest--usually Thursday or Friday. I usually do a recovery ride on Monday, too, assuming that I have ridden hard over the weekend. I also practice yoga and try to fit that at least once or twice a week. If the weather doesn't cooperate, I'm on my yoga mat more than the bike.

After work a couple of days a week, some on the weekends. Except when I have field trips or meetings. Then there isn't enough daylight!

Weekdays I'm out at the crack of dawn, 2 or 3 days a week, generally for about an hour before getting ready for work. I've been trying to incorporate intervals during my morning rides to get in some speed training.

Weekends are my long-distance rides, and fun rides with my friends - sometimes both combined .

I've been trying to shake off a cold, so I haven't been doing any morning rides this week. I figured I'd be better off sleeping in and be rested and (hopefully) over this cold by the 200K permanent brevet I'm doing on Saturday.
