OK, I don't think "mileage-withdrawl" is an actual cycling term, or disease, but I think I am experiencing it w/entering the tapering phase of my century training.

I LOVE Fall. Today was the first day that the nasty Midwest humidity (which kills my asthma) left and you could just feel that Fall nip in the air.

Normally on a day like this, I would have rode my cycling heart out w/content. However, I was a good little cycling-training-girl, and just did my min mi recovery ride.

I feel like I'm dieing here--argh. I need my happy pedal fix of miles.

My exercise also keeps my mood happy--and I stay outta the junk food. Without it, I struggle.

Need some ideas and morale support that only my cycling TE pals might be able to help with.

On a technical training note...
I'm trying to figure out exactly how many miles I should do the next two weeks.

This w/e was my furthest ride at 70mi w/similiar climbing expected on century route. Week total 247mi. Prior to that, I was averaging 100-150mi.

I think this week I am suppose to cut 25-40%. Week prior event same % of the cut amount. Do I use the 100-150# since that was my more steady average? Or what?
