Right Yen,
I know what you mean about staying committed.
I've found the best motivation for me is to spend my hard earned money on the entry fee, i.e. sign up for a big event (the
Hemet double would be good!), then the thought of The Event coming up . . . always somewhere in the back of your mind; that gets you out there on those training miles!
Plus, remember, if you're really tired after the first loop, you can drop out of the Hemet double and still have a century to your credit
. Both loops are 100 mi. and circle back to the Motel 6 on Florida Ave. in Hemet.
I do have a friend (Tom Parkes) who rides 10+ doubles every year, and when I ask him how he finds time to train for and ride all those doubles, he answers,
"It's easy, I don't have a life!"
So I don't want you to go there!
Best Regs,

PS: don't we look kinda tired in that last photo? I think we do.
