I take 3 weeks, no road biking during that time, only cross training (running, mtbing, tennis, whatever to stay in shape and keep the weight down.)

I'm using basically the same method as Dave. No schedules, just riding for fun. Whenever, and whatever my little heart desires.

Re: Racers - How long is your post season break?
Mountain bike season ended for me in September, and cyclocross season started the week after. Cyclocross season ends in December, and I'll take a week off for travel. The first road-race I am targetting starts in early February.

Re: Racers - How long is your post season break?
You need to include the answer "no break" as it applies to me. I've gone straight into track season at Burnaby's indoor velodrome. Gotta love the place when it's 35 degrees and sleeting outside...

Re: Racers - How long is your post season break?
During the heart of winter, about 2 months, I stop doing all threshold work/intervals. In that time I ride for fun, take vacation, and take up some snow sports.
For me at least, it is good not just fot the body but the mind too. 10 months a year of hard training and tapering leaves me feeling like toast. |
