Just can't be bothered this weekend...! Still not ridden despite having whole weekend at home on my own (for first time in ages). Instead have done gardening and seen the inlaws! I should try and keep fitness up for our planned bank holiday epic but just not bothered. Arghh, why?! I have a wealth of great bikes to chose from, its a bit windy but not raining. Do other people get like this at times?
Yeah, sometimes your heads just not into it that day. No big deal, not as if you sat about doing nothing. Forcing it will make it even less enjoyable.
Go and pIt your biking gear on,that's the first step,then go choose your steed,now think of a loop you can do,you will wonder what all the fuss was about when you tearing your local up.
I'm happy to look after some of your bikes..that way you may feel less bothered by doing nowt...
But yes I can think of things I need to be doing now and again instead of leaving the jobs to fester and buggering off biking,we are all guilty of it.
Well Ricky has at least motivated me to get changed. Think it's going to just be a local spin on the cx though.
Lol edenvalleyboy - thanks for the offer, I don't have any issues owning them though.
It's something only you can do, it's a lovely day for a ride, celebrate being alive and go for a ride, hope that helped.
I wasn't really feeling it today and had to make myself go out, then felt like someone had filled my legs with concrete so took an easy route - but still managed to end up riding back into a headwind.
🙁
Not really enjoyable but still don't regret going out. I'm sure you'll have a much better time.
I took my new to me Sherpa out for the first time today,nothing like a new bike for motivation!
Get out for a spin before it's too late. Then settle down for a bit of Sunday film or some such trash in the quietly satisfying knowledge you had a blast out in the bike.
I nearly started a similar thread, but that was just going to turn into a rant about work, moving, stress, and general misery-lite
Feel much better for have plastered the bike in mud
Last November i rode Snowdon, got back, put my MTB in the shed, and didn't ride a bike for about 3 months! I just didn't feel like riding.
Then one day in March, i woke up and thought "i fancy a ride" and since then i've been back to full steam ahead riding my bikes!
The moral of the story? No idea, but maybe "don't fret it" 😉
Well, clap yourselves all on the back! I went out, just headed up the C2C to keep out some of the wind (turned out in places that wasnt that easy as I ground to a 9mph halt), anyway, sense of motivation came back and just kept it simple - rode 15.5 miles out and turned round and came back! Hate linear rides normally, but it turned into 31 miles that just didn't require thought. And after that, got some pretty canny top 10's on Strava (pretty pleased with that as some 200 odd women on the C2C!).
I find that when I am at home on my own I do very little of anything - its such a luxury to have no one demanding my time and/or attention and/or money that I can spend hours doing nothing but enjoying the silence.
I miss them all terribly - obviously. But bring on half term and their trip to the inlaws!
