Happy new year Dave!
Thanks for the reply and for the cool link... I've been flirting with the idea of some lightweight rims for my bike, but they are horribly expensive... Need to win the lottery.
Yes, we definitely had a very cool night out with my girlfriend, in both senses: we had great fun and we froze our asses dining outside to be safer in this shitstorm. She didn't drank me under the table, and although she can definitely keep my pace, I'm still stronger (at the moment...).
Regarding training, yes. Volume is key, especially as we - I - age. It's very tricky to stay on the thin line of training everyday, but that's a good thing because life always forces us to change plans, take undesired rest days and so on.
Not having a real project is very helpful on this matter, because I don't need to plan a peak of form in advance.
The mental image of moving tons of Caen rock is brilliant.
