which is why they love you, non?
I don't really know what to do for winter training. It's the first time I've ever considered such a concept, to be honest, and no doubt may lead to some 'summer training' next year...
Last winter we just went out for a long (50-90 miles) ride each weekend, and that seemed to lead me into the season just fine, and that's what I was planning for this winter, to ride and enjoy it. Having made improvements over the summer I do wonder if I could/should do more/different/better than this? But as I've mentioned elsewhere I am a bit like a dog with a rabbit - show me the rabbit and I will chase it ragged, but with no rabbit I'm happy to curl up in front of the fire and do sod all apart from dream about rabbits. So all this chat of turbos and rollers just makes me go "really?! Nah...."
maybe I should try to address this motivational issue. But first I want to know exactly how many of the people who claim to be hopping on their rollers every 5 minutes really are doing that? Maybe you are? Am I really so lax because I know I won't be?
Apart from BMMF, I know he is because I can hear him trundling away, planning hilltop domination from the comfort of his turbo...
