  • Anyone get into a bit of a malaise while touring?

    Can feel myself slipping into some touring blues. I've been in Bosnia a couple of weeks, having ridden down here, for an ultra event and had a solid crew of cool people to hang out and ride with but at the weekend I'm on my own again.

    Feel like I'm going to be going through the motions as I head further south towards Montenegro. Its somewhere I've been most excited for so I hope that buzz returns.

    I think if someone offered me the chance to click my fingers and be at home I would take it....and that's stinkin thinkin.

  • What's the weather like? I'm sure when you're on top of a hill overlooking the scenery on a sunny day it will all come back

  • Yes, of course.

    Without the boring days the rad days wouldn't be rad.

    Being on the road every days for days on end removes you from people which is good in some regards but humans are designed as social creatures so you miss the peeps you would normally hang with.

    The novelty of planning adventures and stuff and eating weird food and meeting forruns and blah blah wears off and you want to go home. There's nothing wrong with doing that.

    Are you on a time limit? Do you have a tight budget? Are you traveling for sight-seeing, looking for love? Getting to a certain place at a certain time. Different tours will have different states of mind at different times. You either push through the doldrums or you call it and start planning a return.

  • Get on warmshowers and/or couchsurfing, loads of interesting people to meet and places to stay and can give a bit of variety to all the riding
