I get these slumps. I've been sort of burnt out lately, actually. The temperatures are still over 100 degrees in the afternoon; I'm doing more miles than in the summer, and doing three rides instead of two, because of school; and I'm not getting enough sleep. The only thing that gets me on the bike somedays is habit. That, and my only other way to work is bus or commandeering the car from my wife.

I've been here before. Right now, I wish I had oboeguy's love of biking, but that is not getting me on the bike today. So, I'm faking it, going through the motions, until my schedule changes and I start to love biking again. I know it's there, I'm just going to keep doing it until it comes back.
