Jiffer.......
Last summer, fall, at the height of your performance...think back on how that felt. Breathe in those moments, relive them...do it on each ride, do it in the car driving....whenever/wherever you can think on it, do so.
It may be uncomfortable, but ride with your DH, ride with your partner who outclimbs you, this will make you stronger.
I'm no expert, as I've only been riding about 18 months, but 85% of that time has been with my BF and on occasion, his cycling buddies, who all have been riding 15+ years...I try to hang with them, swinging the gate on group rides, but I still try to hang with them...I know it has made me stronger. I have a desire to race competitively now and am even contemplating going back to school to LeesMcrae in Banner Elk, NC for a minor in cycling! I'm 47 (in a week), been athletic all my life, but cycling has opened my eyes to a whole new world of fitness and competition.
Jiffer -- you've been on top of your game, you know what it takes to get there...you also know how awesome it feels to be on top of your game...now get out there and RIDE.

When I feel uninspired and my mojo starts to wane, I watch this video.
It always gets me pumped and wanting to get out there on the hills (and dreaming of the day when I'm in shape again!
).
