I've given this more thought and I've noticed that not only have I lost my desire to cycle, but other things as well. I think I'm in one of those cycles where I feel apathetic about.....everything. The interesting thing is others feel apathetic too. It feels like something is pressing down, as if everything feels like a chore--like it doesn't matter if we try.

I wonder if we are more sensitive to atmospheric changes than we previously thought and, as a result, may have a bearing on our energy level.

I am only hoping that with the cooler temps it'll give me a boost and that I'll truly desire to ride again. I want to try and focus on enjoying the ride and not focus on performance, mileage, and numbers. Maybe I'll pack my watercolors with me on the mtb and do a plein aire painting.
