Parenthood has stopped me doing as much as I'd like (e.g. I changed my working hours for childcare reasons and now don't have a commute or time during the week to go out riding instead). Not doing regular commutes 4 or 5 days a week has had some negative effect on my motivation too as I'm sure my cycling fitness has dropped and so weekend rides just feel harder.
The biggest dent to my mojo was Paris-Brest-Paris 2011. I've probably done less riding in the 3 and bit years since August 2011 than I did just in Jan-August 2011.
