Thought I'd write a little more about what I do in the offseason - which, for me, starts right about now.
Big picture is, it's about taking the time to build new foundations for another season of work.
I take a little break - a couple weeks barely on the bike.
Then, I return to aerobic development, and strength development. Tempo rides and weight lifting. I maintain weekly sprint work.
I take some damn vacations, which is nice.
I race RRs and crits in the spring and prep for track season.
