Went on holiday for two weeks without bike, although I did a fair bit of running in an attempt to maintain some fitness. Got back on Friday and went on a ride on Sunday and just felt like death. Feels like my ftp is 15% down, after about 30 miles I just wanted to curl up and die.

Maintaining fitness is such a ballache.

Wouldn't it be great, if it was like learning to ride a bike. Once you obtained fitness, it never left you.

But the beauty is that it does.

I've always held the belief that once you obtain a certain level of fitness, its always easier to regain that level than it was to get it in the first place. I certainly hope it's true.
