Re: [RC] "endurance friendly" jobs - rrohwer Rohwer
Have a regular 40 hour a week, Monday thru Friday job. I was able to
change hours to 7AM to 4PM a few years ago. Plus I live very close to work
so usually have enough time in the evening to go train, plus on the
weekends. Have been at the job long enough to have 3 weeks of vacation a
year, but only do about 6 or 7 rides a year. Partly because of location,
Western Montana, have to travel a lot and I am talking anywhere from 200 to 600
miles or further to go to "A" ride. Other limitation is weather, once it
starts snowing around here I won't chance getting out on the roads and
traveling. So I personally don't plan on competing between October through
March but can sometimes start training in Feb, weather permitting. I live
in a valley where any direction you travel you have to climb a pass. Just
don't want to chance a wreck on slick roads. A plus is that I am single so
can set my evening/weekend schedule as I please. That helps make life
simple.

Hi
all, I'm curious (and kind of burned out at my current job). For
those of you that work, what kinds of jobs do you have that are
"endurance friendly', in that it allows you time to ride and condition,
not to mention have time off on the weekends to attend rides? Do a
lot of you work at home or have your own business? For those of
you that have horse related businesses (like all the places from which I
buy my tack and horse products), is it enough enough to pay your bills
and allow you to go to rides? Not trying to be too nosy, just
looking at alternate career choices. Realistically, I probably
won't be able to make any drastic moves, but I was wondering how
everybody else does it.
Thanks!
