Maybe a New Bike is in Needed?
Maybe a new bike would put some interest back in riding again??
For the past couple of years it seems like I hit this funk about this time of the year. The motivation to get suited up to jump on the bike and ride has evaporated. This time it's the worst it has been in 10-11 years. I think I've only ridden a total of 50 miles the past 3 weeks.
I used to travel to organize rides every weekend. I had rides planned out for the year and knew I needed a pretty specific training regime to complete some rides. A lot of it was probably driven by failure to be able to successfully complete an event, climb a steep hill, etc. Having goals and targets were really helpful in getting to a good performance level and staying in shape.
It's been interesting hearing the interviews with some of the Olympians (like Phelps) who have dealt with motivation on a much larger scale. If I had a heart to heart discussion with myself I'm not sure who would win??
I'm not sure what's going on right now but I'm really struggling to make sense of it.
Any else dealt with losing interest in something they were very passionate about (spouses excluded!!)?
