 easing off on the "training-conditioning" rides during the off-ride weeks

 would be your "ideal" training/maintenance schedule???? >>


With rides two weeks apart, I'd just keep up daily maintenance exercise. At 
three weeks apart, you have an opportunity to drop in a medium to short 
distance, strong, "tightener" about ten days out.
