Lack of Motivation

[Karma007]

Ride somewhere. For example, choose to ride to the coffee shop, or thriftstore, or movies or something. As much as I love to ride because I love to ride, sometimes having a purpose is just fun.

This is a tough time of year to re-start too; so much going on. Maybe just do some "fiddling around" rides between now and the new year. Use that time to put together a plan for the new year.

HTH,

What is fun about this time of year are night rides. Maybe noodle around the neighborhood and look at the Christmas lights?

Get you bike out and look at it.
Sit with it in the living room for a while.
Maybe it will start talking to you (in the transcendental sense)

This is close to how I got back into riding after totally losing motivation for cycling over the summer. I just started by doing short errands on my bike and after a couple weeks, I found myself wanting to go longer. I had my mojo back and all it took was some simple, easy paced, around town errands.

Don't put pressure on yourself, you'll be back on the bike when your mind and body are ready.
