Up till last October and no problems getting out on the bike but a slight knee problem and poor weather meant that the winter was spent just turning the pedals and keeping the legs moving. Retired in April and I now have all the time in the world to get out and ride--Except I haven't. Plenty of jobs to do and other things to occupy my time and bike riding has slipped way down the list of things to do. Enthusiasm has gone- fitness has gone and there is something missing from my life.

So in the same state as you and I have to do something about it. Ridiculous thing is that once out on the bike and I enjoy it. It's just making the effort to get out and do what I like best.
