I haven't said anything to my wife about my recent struggles with riding. A few minutes ago I told her I was going to play golf with my brother this afternoon. She said " Well I guess that means you are not going to ride today........you just don't seem to be as excited about riding as you have been in the past. It sounds more like a chore and something you feel like you have to do when you do go riding." She seems to have summed it up better than I could! I guess I'll just take a continued break and when the urge to get back on the bike returns I'll haul my overweight butt out for a few miles.......and suffer.
