    How's your nutrition when you're riding. The flipping of the switch sounds suspiciously like you might be bonking. Have you tried eating/drinking some calories at that point (or before??). Otherwise, it does take time. I've lost a lot of fitness over the last year, and am working HARD to get it back...

    It sounds to me like you are overtraining. Are you taking at least one day completely off the bike? If you are working the point of exhaustion (temporary muscle failure) you'll need this to gain strength. Ideally the day after your longest, hardest ride would be the day to take off.
