Considering how much you do JIffer, I think 30 minutes is fast!!
1. potty
2. wash hands, put in contacts.
3. Get dresed, spend at least 5 extra minutes contemplating my SOCKS!! I have a lot of pairs, have to decide which ones match and how low they are.
4. Braid hair, new part of routine as my hair has grown. This takes me close to 10 minutes.
5. Put on sunscreen, will probably miss a spot and it still takes me close to 10 minutes.
4. Wander around, force my stubborn schnauzers outside (it is like herding cats). Make water bottles for DH and myself, contemplate my Sport Bean flavor of the day.
5. Kennel above brat dogs.
6. Go out to garage, DH has usually taken care of the tires.
7. Load tire levers, extra CO2, keys, cell phone. Put on headband, helmet. Clean sunglasses.
8. Spend a few minutes putting on shoes and checking tightness. I wear insoles and it is very key to avoiding a painful ride not to have my shoes too tight.
Ride time- 45 minutes to an hour. When we are in a hurry it has been cut to 30 minutes, but this is not the norm.
