I started cycling late spring of 2005. I only put 600 miles on my bike that year. This year I should put 2000 miles on my bike (It's still in the 90s here in TX). My first ride was 6 miles long. My longest ride to date is 66 miles. With daylight saving time ending soon I will no longer be riding after work. My only ride time will be on the weekends. I'm concerned that I will lose most of the fitness I've gained over this year. I know me and I know that I cannot do the trainer/stationary bike or treadmill thing...to much like a rat in a cage for me. I will be increasing my racquetball playing to 3 days a week instead of two. And I've just now seen a drop in weight (4 lbs) that seems to be staying off...which I'll probably just gain back this winter. Am I doomed to start all over from square one next spring or will weekend riding be enough to keep me from slipping backwards? sigh...
