Yep. Nothing can beat getting in the miles. More fun often to join a local road club to train with over the winter. Track events tend to not last much more than 30 minutes so you can train quite effectively for events like these by riding at a high tempo for an hour, 2-3 times a week which is good over the winter as its too cold to be out longer than this. One big long ride every week isn't really an effective way to train as it can be quite a strain on the body and metabolism. Good luck and enjoy
