I trained hard core last summer for my first Century and loved it. The ride was hard for me and training was tough as a total newbie to the sport.

But I haven't been back on my bike more than twice since that ride and both were tiny little rides around my neighborhood. I miss the sport but for some reason getting back on the bike seems overwhelming, intimidating - anyone experience this before?

I live in a congested city so some of it is not wanting to battle traffic - but its odd - I've been working out like crazy - even spinning. But I can't make myself gear up and get on that bike. I think I'm a little afraid of how out of shape I am now (I got mono and put on weight after the ride). But its sitting in my living room and I feel sad I'm still not riding. Maybe its not the sport for me ... and I'm trying to force it because it was such an incredible experience. But then I did love riding.

My boyfriend (avid cyclist) said I burnt myself out. I just don't know. Curious what others think?
