This is precisely what you shouldn't do. This is what the "system" wants you to do, to work while you exercise, to work while you're with your family, ... What you should do is work the hours you have to and not one more, then you get up, take your bike and enjoy nature.

Work at a desk, then take time to go ride a bike, it may super charge your work.

Going for a ride is a great way to get into a flow state and really think.

I don't think you understand what training to be a competitive cyclist looks like. 15 ish hours of relatively constant power per week sounds about right for base phase, which tends to coincide with winter. This is different from rec riding.

I used to commute 1.5-2 hours each way to and from work, 5 days a week. Sometimes I’d go for a ride at lunch too.

In Calgary where the weather sucks.

Think I was doing about 1200km per month.

Just a filthy casual cyclist tho.

Doesn't work well when you have a busy family life. I would argue that anyone doing 1200km a month is not a casual cyclist, and if you have a partner, they need to be fully onboard with your "hobby" time commitment for something like this to work.

Christ almighty, we've found a hardman. Point taken.
