[GRRiders] Now I've gone and done it.

I was a little on the fence about wanting to take on the Gold Rush but as of today I'm officially off the fence.  I just posted my registration for a 600k in Santa Rosa and the Gold Rush.  
 
Now, the only think I have to do is actually ride the 300k, 400k and 600K and finish to get to the starting line of the Gold Rush.  
 
If riding a 200k at what I'd guess was far less then full strength and still finishing is any indication I should be OK.  The plan is to ride the Santa Cruz 300k a week from Saturday and then the Davis 400K two weeks after that.  In between the 400K and 600K I'll ride a double century not so much for time but for fun.  
 
All, this has me wondering about a couple of things.  If your riding a brevet pretty much every other week what type of riding do you do in between?  I know this week I'm taking it rather easy to help get over a cold, but I wonder if it's best to do that between each long weekend?  Anyone know of any tricks of the trade?
