What's Next for Winter Training?

I will be continuing training back in the great white north. Which means back to hot chocolate in a thermos on rides, doing interval workouts on an indoor trainer, along with mixing in some cross training like running when the weather does not permit cycling on the roads and strength training. And already planning for my next trip to Tucson for another longer training block in February 2020.
