Getting as much done whilst on the clock as possible is the key.
For me I need to empty my bowels before a ride (bowel disease) or I run the risk of crapping my pants on the way home. I head off to the throne at 5pm every day to have a proper clean out, that wipes me out so I spend the rest of my day at my desk eating a banana and getting my strength back.
I start sorting my bag out then, packing up my USB chargers for my lights, garmin etc.. then 5 mins before I'm due to leave I'm back to the khazi to get changed.
Then bang on time I return to my desk to pick up my laptop and I'm done. Saves about 30mins of time.

a stunning level of detail

I feel stunned and yes it is as a result of too much info... bizarrely it was the banana that finished me off

You wash before getting on the bike? You know the bike doesn't mind?

I work in a foundry, and usually covered in all sorts of grime and sand, which would no doubt, cause a bigger rubbing injury than my helmet would prevent in a crash (think - red headband-like graze, all round my forehead)

There is waaaay to much info in this thread, a colleague wants to know what I'm laughing at!!! Where would I begin to explain...

Probably could have used better punctuation/wording :oops:

Strict health and safety rules mean the first thing i'm obliged to do on entering the building is clock in at the flexi machine. Likewise, clocking out is the last thing i do before leaving.

Therefore, aside from locking and unlocking the bike, all showering/changing/changing back etc takes place in work time.

I faff like crazy in the evening though, laying out gear for the next morning and triple checking that everything i need is packed in my bag. Despite this obsessive compulsive behaviour, i have more than once left trousers at home and had to attend meetings in a pair of three quarter length humvees and a shirt.

Details of my bathroom habits available on request. (Not really).
