Establishing a baseline in volume

As of writing this I am 10 days out from heading to Florida for 6 hard weeks of non-stop, unadulterated training. I'll be embedded in the Tampa sunshine and riding up and down the Florida Coast daily. I can't wait.

Obviously the change in venue next week will cause a disruption in my training. Thus I plan on having a big 7-10 days to figure out how much volume I can handle. Then I can recover during my transplantation to FL. Then Monday March 15 I'll kick off with this week's figures to base my schedule off of.
