I'm always disappointed with that first ride of the year because I've felt like I've put in a good winter of work but it doesn't transfer very well. Like you I just train to try and keep the legs and lungs in fair shape. For me my most important goal during the winter is to keep my weight down. I'm not real good at it but it would be a disaster without the workouts.
