Amanda, sorry to hear about your struggle with finding motivation to ride. Just wanted to let you know that my goal this year is 4000 miles...and that is because of you from last year pushing me a bit to set my goal high. It will be tough for me to get to 4000 this year but I think I will make it. I know that if I do, next year I won't have a specific goal. Sometimes being goal oriented can just burn you out. Maybe that's what happened to you. Maybe you burned yourself out a bit by having such a high goal last year?

My suggestion is to find others to ride with and make it a social ride. Maybe that will put a little more joy into your rides. I know I enjoy my rides a whole lot more when in a group. I rarely ride solo now. Do what interests you. You don't HAVE to ride. But I do hope you don't give it up completely.
