I'm fairly new to cycling having just got a bike 6 months ago to do triathlons. I love to run but I have a horrible time with achilles tendonitis that won't go away for anything. So now I'm trying to cross train.

I'd soooo love to catch the cycling bug that you all seem to have. So far I've enjoyed rides with other people, but I don't enjoy riding when I'm by myself. I think I have too much time to think about how hard it feels on my legs. I know the only way to get over that and become better conditioned is to "just do it", but I'm yet to absolutely fall in love with it in such a way that I can't wait to get out there again (like I am with my running).

Can someone please send me some good cycling energy?!?!
