I've got a decent ride planned this Saturday, a bit of an off road thing on 33mm tyres so lets see how hard it is. Essentially I need to stop feeling guilty about not training and find a rhythm with riding again as I still really enjoy it. I do beat myself up for not riding which is something I'm dealing with internally.
On the last week of this challenge, I got a big promotion at work which has taken a while to adjust to as it's very senior and I've now got a lot of responsibility

Nice. I was riding a lot of dirt last year. I'm now focused on climbing so it's mostly road again but now I've got my new dropper and the MTB is out and about I should actually ride the bloody thing.
Re: work I ditch riding to focus on work if it's worthwhile. A new role probably is so maybe sink some time into that now, while you're recovering from the year. For me, if it's dumb shit, I'll focus more on riding and just do the work around it. You still gotta pay the bills though, right? I normally move into new position and smash it for a bit to make myself lookr awesome then back off and hand bits over once they're sorted and look at other stuff. Kinda depends what your employer expects of you. I'm technical so not responsible for shit. If it breaks it was like that when I found it... :D

Congratulations on the promotion. Pretty amazing to get it in spite of having a few other things going on in the background!
I can understand the feeling of finishing a big challenge and not feeling good about not doing much now. Have you got a next event lined up? Having a low after a big ride is a really common thing. The only known cure is to enter something else.
I find it hard to train unless I'm training for something. Actually that's a lie, I don't find it hard at all, I just don't do it, so it's quite easy, just makes me feel crap!

congrats on your promo!
I haven't doubt that someone who showed having this determination can't be progressing further work-wise!

I think I saw that on Insta. Not that I've done any for years but group rides at social pace are good to take your mind off the pedaling bit.
