winter sun and floods

After six weeks off I took the first sunny day of November to start the winter base training.  I set out for a long one but then thought again and went short - on my "standard" short route - this was after all my first for 6 weeks...

 
 
The key is to take it easy - less is more - and I'll reap the benefits of a good winter of base training next summer.
 
Do you have "standard" routes and workouts - for when you just want to ride, and for when you want to see where you are at?
