I would be riding a lot during the week, but I have a job, three kids, and wife. Before it all (family and work priorities), I rode everyday, weighed about 50 lb's less, had a lot more hair, and none if it was gray. Rode everything on my full ridgie, yeah... thats how I cut my teeth on Noble (up and then down), now only ride down Noble...( well, other than the blt, noble, indian creek, pine mt loop)
Soon though, I will be riding 4-5 days a week, can't wait. In 8 years it will be an everyday thing again...freedom!!!

I work later in the day mostly.At the auction we have to wait for the sale to finish,which is usually between 2- 3 pm. So my days are pretty open. No saturday rides for me, I have to drive back from Vegas an get home late.Also have the kids on every other weekend, so weekends sometimes.

Two masters degrees and no apparent income, how do you do it?

5 days a week! Actually I work a 9/80 schedule, so it's 4 days a week every other week (like this week!!). It's way better than a standard 10/80 (or 5/40 or whatever).

i work 18 x 10 hour shifts a month. So I work about 18 days a month, flexible. About once a month it's over the weekend.

Sometime I do double shifts, so I get more days off. I hate the double shifts but I love the extra days.

When its daylight savings I can often squeeze in a local ride even during the week.
