i'm currently reading base building for cyclists by thomas chapple. it has good ideas on using the winter as a reboot time.. the strength section focuses a lot on not pushing your muscles to fatigue, ( which it says increases size ) but focusing on a range of leg exercises to increase strength. Also he suggests doing leg presses over squats as there is less chance that you will injure yourself through bad form..
