I got on it yesterday and immediately thought about turning around and going home. I was short winded, my speed was way off, and my mojo was non-existent. So I forced myself to do a little over 30 miles and will ride the same route again tomorrow just to prove to myself (hell, I don't know) maybe that I'm not a quitter. I don't know how much longer I'll be riding, but I do know one thing-Riding has kept me healthy and sane. I can't quit now and I hope you aren't considering quitting either. We'd both regret it I'm sure.
I did 36 miles yesterday and then got back to my regular 25 today and feeling much better mentally and physically. I don't normally ride Sundays except for night riding, but I got out there and had a good time. Going to really push it tomorrow when there should be less traffic with everyone back at work or in school.
