Interesting question and something I’ve actually pondered quite a lot. In the past I consciously tried to keep the mojo, to make sure the riding and training was always fun.
These days I just do what I’m in the mood for and if I’m drifting away from cycling - that’s ok, I always tend to find my way back. I also tend to stop serious cycling (training and racing) mid summer and just enjoy being fit and cycling.
With framebuilding - it’s a craft and a job. It’s making things well and improving skills that makes me happy, it just happens that the things I make are bikes. Though making bikes for myself/friends/family definitely helps strengthen the connection and get me excited.
Also my social life has nothing to do with cycling. My girlfriend (despite my best efforts - that pink Shand ^^^ is one I made for her) isn’t a cyclist and neither are most of my friends so I don’t really talk about bikes or cycling. That’s why it’s cool to come on here and share projects 🙂

Bit off topic but I'm curious about something... I was working in a bike shop, doing lot's of commuting and also delivering food on my bike and I noticed that I was getting a bit bored of it and couldn't really be bothered to go for rides in my time off anymore. I see you work in a bike shop, go racing and still go touring and all that, do you never think it's too much and get sick of it?
