Hello There Humans,

been doing this for the past few years - meaning showing up for rides with very few training hrs a week. I want to resume racing. Very much so. But as of yet i do not have the leash to go 8-10hrs a week. I have been able to get away with sticking on rides through skill, age, and accumulated kms over decades.

I ride indoors most of the time as I live in New England/Boston area. So the discipline factor is not an issue.

Question: what is the least amount of hours I can get away with and still hang at races? Granted, the events are local training races, but that doesn't mean they're taken at a leisurely pace; on the contrary, average speeds hover around 42-45km/hr.

I do weights too. If anyone out there has a solid system, pls let me know.

Happy 2016,

G
