Today I went out on the geared bike for an undulating 20 mile ride. It's normally a lovely route - flat to start with to warm up to a good tempo, a few false flats to get you ready for the climbs, before a few good, steep climbs with flats in between to allow you just enough time to recover before the next one. Then it's a fast, steady downhill where you can get in a tucked position, with a couple of short mellow climbs that you can aggressively snarl your way up, just to prove you're a badass.

Today it was just hell. I couldn't find a good spinny cadence on the flats, I dropped right down to 60-70rpm on the climbs, shifted into the 25t far too early and wanted to be sick (and not in a good way) after every climb. I couldn't push myself on the downhill, meaning I didn't have enough speed or a good cadence for the other climbs.

Back home, I feel like I never want to ride again. I literally hate cycling.

I know we all get this way sometimes, but what do you do to get over it? How do you stay motivated when it just feels 'wrong'?

it sounds a lovely route....I'm in if you feel to do it with a few of us

And a maguffin.

i hated cycling when i had my first crash... i smashed a car bike light in dense traffic :(
but then i think of uhmm... just how fun cycling can be when your just cruising around london...you know you're the fastest thing there and you're not even trying :P

a pointless post but ahh well :)

Not pointless - reminded me to post, and yes, that's what I like most about riding in London...

Hills are still killing me, but I've found my niche with cadences - finding a gear that I'm pushing against and then find a smaller gear so I'm spinning 10rpm faster than that.

Fast spinning for the win - and the knees actually too...

Today ...... edited.... I literally hate cycling.

i'm in the exact same phase. I literally ride to work on my shite bike and thats it. like 2-4 miles a day. Haven't been on a proper ride in weeks.

When I'm in these phases I run after work. It's not as fun, but you can get a good workout in under an hour.

I'm always switching between running and cycling. Usually 3-4 month phases.

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?

Sharkstar help me out here... what show was a "glazed mcguffin" in?

Sorry, Maguffin...

here's the cure......
