As you may already know, Cape Epic 2020 got cancelled and don’t know what to do with this fitness peak since there are no races in the next few months and in Spain we’re through a general lockdown that will last for (at least) 2 weeks more.

What would you do? Í come “fresh” from a two week taper and don’t know if I should start a new cycle (base-build-peak).
