    Emily, it would leave me enough time, since I wouldn't have to be there until at least 9 AM, some days 10, and I have been getting up at 5-5:30 to ride a few miles a couple of days a week since last fall. Not long rides, but really I never rode more than 15 miles when i was riding after work. The difference is that I won't have summers off, so that's why I am thinking of the .80 hours. I would be working 4 days a week. This is so much on my mind, but I can't let it drive my decision. I won't be able to commute, since I will be driving to different client's schools and homes. I wonder what a person would think if I rode to their home on my bike ? Some of the communities they serve are not more than 10 miles away. Probably not... If I do the .80 it will increase the time I take to get my hours for my independent license. Not much, though, maybe 2-3 months. That means I'll be closing in on my 60th birthday .
    The agency sponsors employees to do the Rodman Ride for Kids... a huge ride I did once with DH, when we were sponsored by his company. There's a huge fund raising commitment. That went a long way in my mind when I saw it on the web site. The 2 women I met with today were wearing pedometers as part of a walking challenge. I liked that.

    I am all for a shorter work week! I think it sounds pretty ideal; other than the fact that you can't commute to work, but neither can I. That just doesn't work for everyone. We all do the best we can, and at least it would give you enough time to get some weekday rides in during the nicer part of the year, either before or after work.
