I need some motivation.
Somebody kick me in the arse.
The Want is there, but the Will is a little lacking. I think it's the weather, been rainy/cold lately.
Hopefully tomorrow's 35-miler will jump-start the Will. Playing soccer again too, so that should help as well.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Well, for a small fee + travel expenses, I could come chase you with a cattle prod......
That's a great motivator!

I was in the area at Thanksgiving for my mother's 70th birthday. You should have posted up then and I would have driven up and kicked your ass. :-).
Like others have said. Get out of the house/garage/yard and ride on.

This week I forced myself to go on an easy 15 mile ride Tuesday and a harder 20 mile ride yesterday. Now I'm feeling very energetic and looking forward to a longer 40 mile ride tomorrow.
Go for a ride. You'll feel better, promise.

Do what I do:
Get up when your alarm goes off.
Do not brush your teeth.
Do not fix your hair.
Do not wash your face.
Take off all your clothes, stand on a scale, in front of a full length mirror.
Look at the number on the scale. Look at yourself in the mirror. Keep doing this until you decide to get on the bike.

I actually got to use this in a team building presentation at work
. Just remember you asked for it. It is a self motivator.
