Anybody ever get bike burnout?
By the end of May this year, I had logged twice as many miles as the same time last year. June went fairly well, although I got behind by 150 miles vs last June.
By mid-July, my enthusiasm has lagged markedly.
A lot has to do with all of the organized ride cancellations. There has yet to be a normal ride this season because of the pandemic; no rest stops, no group starts, no after-party meals. Everyone on their own, for either a virtual ride, a "ride-wherever-you-like", or show up and ride the route when you feel like it.
Home projects started stacking up, as well, and the summer heat, and especially the humidity, has put a damper on my enthusiasm.
Also, our big local event for early September - BikeMS - just announced its cancellation.
Anyone else feeling the blahs for training and riding? Any suggestions for a kick-in-the-pants to jump-start the season?
