    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.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    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.

    Early bird!

    I usually ride in the morning three or four weekdays for anywhere from and hour to two. I ride the whole big mile to work every day! I use my bike for all of my errand running needs as well as work meetings and other events. If it is really far I try to combine biking and the bus.
    My partner and I usually do one or two 20 to 30 mile rides on the weekend.
