Chuck,

My husband made a similar career move 5 years ago. Only it was trains, not bikes. Been in the hobby since he was 3. Now he has a successful business (not making much money, but very happy). I worry tho', that he has no time for himself and his own personal model trains. Like us and our bikes, trains are such a source of relaxation to him. So far he has not "burned out", but I wonder how long it will last.

Any suggestions for this situation? How do you guys manage to ride as well as work in the business? How do you manage the balancing act? FYI, I think part of the problem is that he runs the business out of our home-can't afford rent elsewhere yet. Brian? Dale? Anyone else?
