Some additional background.
I went from self-employed to corporate owned and operated a year an a half ago. Unlike many whose workload goes down, mine went up for all sorts of reasons. My youngest daughter just turned 18 and is a special needs child, so, as much as I'd like to just ride lots, I can't.
I'm also flat out exhausted when I get home.
Finally, there was a heavy preponderance of blond wooly worms this Fall. As everyone knows, blond wooly worms mean a harsh winter.
I set up my road bike in the basement and I intend to wake up early and do the damn training rides. I worry about fatigue and to a lesser extent injury, but you won't know unless you try.
