Nothing wrong with taking a break. I've been through phases where I quit riding to run, and then to play soccer, and then I go back to the bikes. After a heavy cycling season last year, I'm doing a lot more running again, and less riding.

Don't sell the bikes...not yet. Think of it as a cycling sabbatical, and let your heart tell you when it needs to ride again. Oh, and anyone who logs 3,000 miles is most definitely a cyclist. There's this very competitive mentality in cycling (at least around my area), and sometimes we unfairly judge ourselves against others. OMG, I am so guilty of this! By why beat yourself up over how fast or how far or how many miles?
