I'm hearing you. I read posts about over-training and such. Won't be me. I have rode about 180 miles so far this year in SC Nebraska. I have spun at the YMCA, played basketball 1x/week at a local church and spent a good deal of the winter coaching some fine young men in HS basketball. Not in bad shape, but not in touring shape either. I have winter-time gear, but don't really care for the cold. But the good thing is, I'm chomping at the bit now to hit the road. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
