awesome results, madisongrrl!! Congrats on your final race. Where was it?

As for motiviation during the off-months...... that's a hard one! I don't think it's a bad idea to give yourself a bit of a break after the season ends. Bike as much as you are able, but include cross-training, also. Give your body and mind a break from biking, especially since you don't really have a choice.
There's great x-country skiing areas not too far from Madison. (Just hope for snow!) I know there are good bike clubs, tho' not sure what they offer during the off-season........... Maybe there are groups that have alternative activities during the winter. Worth checking into. Good luck!
