Back in the day for a ride over 60 miles or a hard 20 it was two days off. Then for short hard climbing rides of 15 miles one day off. But now days its like I never recover so I just ride short rides everyday if possible. Two or three days of no ride bad weather can really put a stinger in my ridding. I am not as strong as other 69 year old riders but by ridding every day just short rides I can at least stay up on a long ride if needed...
