I seem to have these periods of not wanting to ride that are, for lack of a better term, psychological. Almost all of my rides are solo and in the 15-40 mi. range. In a good week I'll be out four days. Then I'll have this feeling of not wanting to be on the bike. I realized that it was all because of my "training" as a HS and college athlete. Sounds strange but even at age 65 I often get very competitive with myself. I get into this mindset that each ride has to be faster than the last one. Eventually riding becomes a test instead of fun. Lately I've been dealing with this by stopping myself from this thinking and telling myself that this ride will be about spinning or easy riding and attacking hills. Just wondering if anyone else has some mental thing that gets in their way.
