Cycling blah

I've been in this funk for the past year now where I have ridden the road bike once this year and I haven't watched a single race of any kind this season. Decided to get fat and not be able to fit in most kits, which doesn't help in the motivation department.

What are some of the ways that you have gotten out of your funk?

[SlowPokePete]

Buy a new bike.

SPP

[Clyde]

Get a cholesterol panel drawn.

The lack of jobs and money this year hasn't helped either.

Getting your website up will probably help that. The link in your signature doesn't work FYI.

For some reason I cannot change my signature website. It is COVRTDESIGN

My best edge has been when I remembered I'm not from this world I'm just visiting and they're lucky I'm around. When I remember that there's nothing I can't do. Find your edge, start by walking on the balls of your feet. Seriously.

Trying to remind myself that even on those days where I don't feel like riding, I rarely regret it once I'm out and I never regret it once I'm done. There's something to getting the body moving that helps kickstart those positive feelings.

Find people you enjoy riding with, especially if they are cute:)

I had that with two riding partners, and then they decided that a boyfriend and no riding was a better idea. Dumb!

I love riding on my own and trained on my own for many year, but I am finding that I do enjoy riding with others more recently.

How about doing something different than what you did before? As in, put some flat pedals on the bike, pick out a charity ride or other event where the conversations and donuts matter more than the speed, and ride casual.
