Have you ever done a tt or something similar? For me a set of 2x20's on the trainer before work does the trick every time, provided that I can complete them in a HR zone that has me cussing and counting.
I know traffic and stuff gets in the way, but i wasn't doing anything different last night. I was just riding one my usual side street routes to go home, I wasnt tired, and I started to zone out and my body felt all light. Pedaling felt automatic to the point I didnt really feel my legs. this was on my touring bike
