I've had no motivation to ride for the better part of a month. I persuaded myself a few weeks ago to go out for a 3-mile ride, and then the ride with my friend. Doesn't help, I know, that it's been so hot lately. Now that the weather's better, I still don't have any real motivation to ride.
I think it's a combination of burnout, my total lack of heat tolerance, and boredom. I rode a whole lot that week of July 4th in very hot weather--I put about 100 miles (a lot for me) on the bike that week and haven't really brought myself to touch it (much) since. I'm also bored with my normal loop, apart from that one hill. I feel like trying to get myself up that hill was the only reason I rode.
Anyone got tips for getting yourself back on the bike?
