Me I am in base mode right now, trying to get in atleast 15 hours on the bike broken into 5 days. I do not want to do those weekend long rides that really just add lots of time and miles. I am finding the 3 hour rides on the trainer to be killer!
Today the weather was so nice I did 3 hours on the trainer and than took the bike home. I was so dead by the end of the ride that I was crawling home.

Thanks js! Yeah I really did think about the routines, speaking to a lot of people I know for advice and such. I've coupled this with a good diet too, lots of carbs, proteins and fruit/ veg , water etc.
I've a couple of sportives/ charity rides jotted in for this year. A few minor tours too like the coast to coast or even things like cycling to festivals (latitude).
Nothing racey or anything like that, I only started cycling last summer.
