Do you guys ever have a REALLY bad day on the bike? One where you question why you are into the sport and if you will ever be any good at it? It happened to me last saturday--suddenly out of the blue (after 16 positive miles) I freaked out and couldn't ride anything!! I was walking stuff less technical than the sidewalk in front of my office (an exageration, but you get the picture). Things I normaly wouldn't think twice of I baled on.

What do you do when you have a day like that? Do you just give up and go home? do you keep riding (I didn't have a choice on Sat. if I wanted to get home)? Do you chant and do meditation? I was almost in tears at times I was so frustrated at myself!
I went out and hammered the next afternoon to try to rid myself of the residue of failure the experience left on me but it still isn’t totally gone even after two enjoyable rides. What if it happens again….
Any advice?
