More sessions for me at the practice course, as soon as it stops raining. (well the day after, so it has time to dry )
You'd be surprised at how much you can practice while driving. Many of the skills are the same... you just need to put yourself in a riding mind space vs. the common cager-autopilot mind space.

Just about every day during the off season, I practice finding reference points/brake markers, line selection, trail braking, throttle application, downshifting (I drive a stick shift), traffic awareness, etc. I look at every situation and every road as if I were on my bike.

Helps pass the time on those boring commutes.
