i struggled with this last summer- at the time i somehow had convinced myself that if i didn't ride 250 miles
a week i was worthless (probably a result of too much time on BF). i was tired all the time and near the end of
summer i was burned out. i decided i would dial back the mileage during winter, do some weight training
and when the whether go warmer would make sure i didn't ride for more than 3 days in a row without a rest day.
this helped alot and this summer has been the best i've had in years
