Work, falling off a couple of times, drinking too often, life stuff, mechanical issues and low funds or time or energy to sort them... There are many reasons why you may lose your cycling mojo.
I've been struggling to convince myself that I love riding bikes lately. I'm well off fitness for a start. That plus some of the reasons above leave me having a debate with myself about whether I can be arsed to go for a ride or not. This has replaced a rampant appetite for it which was actually interfering with my work. This morning I took my mild hangover for a spin in Essex solo. Thought I'd just head out - no route plan , just enjoy the morning... and I fell off on a fast corner by grabbing too much front brake like a plumb. Second fall in three rides and I limped home like a startled deer. I'd struggled to get out in the first place. Not feeling much velo love at the moment. Am I the only one who suffers from these dips?
In other news Rubinos can fuck off in winter on greasy corners and my Elbow is not a pretty sight.
