Thank you all for your help. I think there are many reasons for my lack of motivation (a lot listed in this thread) Your suggestions are great ones and in some perverse way it helps to know I am not alone in my struggles.

I think the big thing is the "Groundhog Day" effect. Same ride day in and day out. Unless I put my bike in the back of my car and take it somewhere I am limited to the road that I live on.(rural living bites!) That coupled with no one to share the bikelove seem to be my biggest issues. None of my friends ride and they get this funny half glazed look when I talk about it. One of them will inevitably say "here she goes again!"

I still haven't got on my bike, but I hope to. I am setting a goal to at least ride once next week. It was supposed to be this morning, but the weather dampens more than my spirit.

Thanks for letting me whine and I will try some of the suggestions given.
