Hi Marcie,
The old 'lack of motivation' has happened to me a few times and it sucks!

I used to ride the same route all the time, and it did get a bit boring.
I started to set some goals and vary my route a bit.

1. Time yourself doing a route & try to improve on it!
2. Just go out and explore, take a few new roads. (I went through the town the other day for the first time, and it wasn't bad at all! It's nice to get up in the morning and have an option of good routes to choose from.)

I think having a selection of routes is a great thing as you can go on the one that suits your mood best that day

Somedays i look at my bike and just have no kick up the *** or motivation, but i would go out anyway. I just think to myself, i'll be home, outta the shower & reading a magazine in an hour n a half if i leave the house now...

but the thing is, i get back home and feel GREAT! and that's me hooked on cycling again.

I didn't ride for a few months, mainly due to the weather here in Ireland, and it was the hardest thing to just get up and go again fustrating sometimes, so i know how you feel & i know that every rider goes through those horrible little phases.

Hope you feel inspired to get out and about soon! do let us know!
