It doesn't always happen, and there is the cusp season (now) when some days you can get out, some you can't.
For the most part I have been going to spin class (although I had to take about 6 weeks off for a broken collar bone). But it's been since the end of October since I put any more than about 17 miles at a time on the bike. Base building is getting to where I can easily knock off a 40 mile club ride at a good pace. That takes some time and work.
