Long Rides

I get we’re all different, and I get you set your priorities based on what you want, but your comments above are rather loaded. And I have to admit get a bit annoying. Just because you set your priorities that way does not make other people who don’t selfish, or hate their family.

I have a friend with kids who has a football season ticket. That necessitates quite a bit of time, and a number of weekends away. Him and his wife have a plan and they still have a lot of time spent together.

I have another friend who takes his golf seriously. He’ll play both mornings of the weekend during the summer. His wife has no problem with that.

I have other mates with kids who have jobs that mean they are all over the world consistently throughout the year. And miss a lot of weekend time. But it pays the mortgage and puts food on the table.

Getting up early and getting a long ride in can have you back mid morning on a Saturday. I’ve fit long runs in starting at 8pm on a Sunday. That impacts absolutely zero on the meaningful time I get to spend at home with my partner and its all arranged in advance.

Just because you set your priorities differently, can you please stop taking the moral high ground with others who happily have different arrangements?!
