There's still a handful of events left in the '07 season— what with this weekend's ABR events, the Fall Fling and the Cross Cup still to come— but as things wind down it seems inevitable that riders start thinking about "next year". (Or maybe it's just the Cub fan in all of us that starts thinking about next year.) Regardless, it also seems inevitable that when riders think about next year, they go BIG.
My advice? Keep it real. Right now you're coming off a long season with lots of conditioning, and I recommend using that energy to log some miles while it's stay warm.... or you can even organize a "de-training camp". I'll give you two examples:
- Get together all your racing buddies for a weekend and grill out lots of food and drink lots of BEvERages. Ride only to get rid of hangovers.
- Work on a borderline, non-healthy hobby-- taste lots of new wine, find a cigar you like, do some crazy fast/cleanse to shed a few extra pounds.
As for your plans next season? Put out the feelers, but carefully consider all the options and measure EVERYTHING against the most accurate B.S. testing strip you've got. You want substance, not sensationalism.
