In Chicago it is difficult to ride often in Winter. I too need to rebuild, I'm also 10 lbs heavier than November.
I'll commute 84 miles a week, ride with a fast group twice a week for another 70 miles.
Starting in April, I'll start doing one or two Century rides per month.
I keep track of miles & pace. I care about hitting my mileage targets more than anything else.
I'll use a cycling computer with a cadence meter. I'm using a heart rate monitor this year, also.
