How do you find time?

How far away is work? Can you commute by bike? That's a good way to get miles in doing something you'd be doing anyway.

The kids are at an awkward age, being kind of heavy for a trailer, and young to ride, but with thought, and help from DH, maybe the four of you could ride together in the evenings.

Work is 25 miles away. Not too commutable. At least I save on gas by carpooling.

We do have a trailer - combined, the kids only weigh around 60lbs. Of course, I can say "only" because I'm not the one pulling them in the trailer. My husband is very supportive and delays their nap if I'm able to make it home from work early so I can get out for a short ride after work while they're still sleeping. I forgot to mention that he also likes to ride. He gets his time in with them in the trailer during the day, too. They love it! There just aren't any opportunities for long rides. The kids would go batty in the trailer for a long ride. Maybe I should be grateful for the time that I do get on the bike. It's better than nothing.

Nice - the tornado sirens are going off. We're getting a major storm right now.

update - tornados sighted in the area, but none right here or at home. The worst has passed. Apparently at home the trashcan lid went flying across the yard like a flying saucer and slammed into the fence. sweeeeet.
