Lost my mojo quite a bit in the past few months, need to get it back!
Working night shift through the winter has been a real killer, along with no sleeping routine and generally eating junk and aches all over, i could barely walk properly for weeks on end, let alone ride efficiently, but started to get some better rest, the time off the bike has actually meant i can work on my bikes and they definitely have been more reliable than i have, having some nicer bikes to ride always helps
Exploring more and finding new routes usually makes me want to go out and ride again soon, i often don't plan a route other than a destination, i found riding with the cycling club was like riding with robots and just sucked all the fun out of it, so i mostly ride alone now and that's fine, finding some good music really helps to, Fat Freddies Drop is a current favorite to zone out to
i also let road rage slide now, a lot more chilled out about the whole thing as the driver is probably a complete moron and doesn't know any better, just ride around the morons
