Yeah, I really felt like this after I finished the Seattle to Portland last July (double century that took me 19 long painful hours to complete ). I totally overtrained and ran myself into the ground, and really didn't even want to think about my bicycle for at least a few months. I also really resented the fact that every weekend from March to July was consumed with STP training rides.

I find that seasonal rotation helps me not get too bored with a specific sport. Instead of pushing too hard to do a specific sport year round, I just do different things in different seasons. After I stopped cycling in July I switched to hiking and backpacking for the rest of the summer. In winter it's time to go skiing.

This spring I've been casually contemplating doing the STP or some other area centuries but I refuse to do an all out training effort for it. I've decided I will just cycle for pleasure and health and do some good solid riding, and as it approaches on the calendar if I'm feeling good and in the mood I may go for it. Or, not.
