My day job is education, so I have about 8 weeks off in the summer. I don’t train anymore like I did when I was racing. I am heading towards 57 years old. I have found that I can’t ride everyday through the summer and recover anymore. Summertime I used to do about 250 - 300 miles a week of just riding around, around 1,100 miles a month. I can’t do this anymore because I don’t recover. This started being an issue in my early 50’s. I now ride 5days a week in the summer and limit my long ride.
