Sorry to hear about the falling off, never good fun on tarmac with nothing but lycra to protect you. Just sounds like a temporary blip, harder to force yourself out when its cold too.
I shall briefly engage face punch inducing cringeworthy self help advice and suggest you go out again soon to reinforce the positive experience of cycling to replace the rather uninspiring 'that shit hungover ride in essex when i stacked it and got gravel rash'. You need a ride with high fives, cake other food treats, wonderous wildlife spots, all washed down by some beer consumed by the fireside in a country pub. And whispers occassionally try somewhere other than the bland open plains of essex, coasting down long hills guaranteed to help get the mojo back.
hmm funny you should mention Rubino's, I put one on the rear of my bike on wednesday and have had one or two moments when its lost traction in corners and skipped a few inches, maybe I'd best get something else for the front.
