just in case i gave the wrong impression, i'm not riding TCR this year!
all i'm training for is to get faster and to keep up with my pals on a week long bikepacking trip this year. Next year I'll see what's what.
That volume, at this time of year, is not bad at all. Adding in some longer rides at the weekend in a month or two would see you just fine imo - the rest is about being sure of your kit, comfy on your bike. Would definitely reccommend doing plenty of flexibility/conditioning stuff too. Yoga if you can.

How is the training going at the moment?
I'm managing 3 turbo sessions a week (usually two at 5am) and the occasional ride of 50-70km.
Going to start commuting next week for some more base miles.
This week has been tough after an increase in my FTP and hitting a heavier load in the plan. Fatigue and tiredness made me grumpy this morning when leaving the house, resulting in me feeling a bit guilty about it all.
Edit: anyone else can comment on their training just Frank and Gillies are in a similar position to myself.
