I need one! I was doing great the first couple of weeks this year, riding almost every day, getting ready for a half century in March - my first long ride in a while.

Then it rained. A lot. After that I got back on, started riding with a little less mojo, but still rode. Then I got sick the weekend before last. Even less mojo. Then I got sick again last weekend (two in a row - not fair!) and next thing I knew, I haven't been on my bike in a week. Planning on riding tomorrow, and then I have to go on a business trip, and then it looks like rain again...help!

I just need a little extra motivation to a) get up early, b) ride even if i don't feel great (not when I'm completely sick, but, like, today, I'm recovering, would have been perfectly capable of going out for a spin) and c) head to a spin class when frogs and locusts are falling from the sky.

Will you help motivate me? Inspire me? Tell me your I-ride-to-work-uphill-both-ways-in-the-hail-and-thunder stories?
