During the outdoor riding season, I generally make up a spreadsheet of sunset times, with back-calculations of when I need to stop work in order to change and get to where I ride, in order to get in 1 1/2 hours before it's too dark. That works pretty well for me, even during COVID. But this is the first winter that I've actually kept riding. Previous years, I road the dumb trainer with nothing but music and could barely make 40 minutes, and kept finding reasons not to. You know, like "Gosh I should really finish this email before I go ride....Oops! Now it's too late!" This year, I actually look forward to Zwift sessions but I find that too many little things around the house - which I won't go into - need my attention. But I'm working on it. This week, I was going to do the TdZ on Wednesday but then there was an unsuccessful coup d'etat. Hopefully next week will be calmer.
