The AV gang does a brevet

yeah, the balance is tough. I can't generally ride outside during the week, so it's either up at 5 for spinervals or a ride in the dark. the GP has been away this week, but I am hoping to get some outdoor early morning riding when he returns. this is something I wished I had done before the 600, because being comfortable riding in the dark is a skill like any other.

it is tough to get the training in. but I can get by on 2 - 3 hours during the week just to maintain fitness between long rides. you don't need 20 hrs a week, and your weekly training sounds just fine to do longer rides.

I am pretty dull at evening functions, though, since my bedtime is about 9!
