Anyone else been through this and how long did it take to jump back on with joy?
To me a "longer ride" itself suggests increased fitness.
Is your "joy" in losing weight or cycling? For me the joy is in the ride. Losing weight I ascribe to diet even though intellectually I realize it's both.
If you really find joy in riding your bike - ride it. If less weight however, is your only pay-off you needn't force yourself to ride to achieve that.
