  • try selecting the right gears and taking a break (kitkat) every now and then. i also find not doing the same routes too often helps.

    ive been doing 50miles a day scince i got my geared bike 6 weeks ago, mainly in rolling kent countryside, but the last week ive been feeling really burned out so have been taking it easy and only going out for 10mile spins in the evening. holy crap do i feel better! going for shorter rides has improved my riding technique, i was spending too much time sitting and riding the small gears before.

    there are days when i hate cycling, but these tend to be days when somthing isnt working properly on the bike, or i keep getting punctures. i had massive egg last week, my front derailluer didnt want to shift and i got 4 punctures, then it stormed and i didnt have any appropriate clothing. then i tried to take a shortcut to get home quicker, but kept finding myself being led onto a motorway. all during this time my waterbottle kept jumping out of the cage and my map kept getting lost in my pocket. it wasnt a good day and i swore alot at the bike gods. but that is just one day of my life.

    not trying to call you out, but for the sake of conversation, i don't believe you're riding 50 mi a day, ONLY because thats like 4 hours start to finish... including shower and everything, i mean.... and who has the time for that?
