It's gone again.

I have to confess i have not been out on my bike forfive or six weeks.I told myself today was the day.Well it's nearly nine o'clock,i have had my porridge,nearly said oats,but that is another story.Had my toast,a cuppa,then i looked out of the window.Dull and grey.Let's see what it is like around eleven,just go for a lunchtime latte to Otley.Sod this lethargy.

It's lovely and sunny here, out you go and enjoy.

(I am similar, promised myself all weekend I would be out but never quite managed it)

Sometimes when i feel a little like that i've had some of my best rides.

Glorious sunshine here on the North Devon coast.
Nipping out for a ride in a bit.
Coffee in Croyde beckons.

I've totally lost my cycling mojo and struggling to get it back. I feel tired all the time so I don't want to go out, and I know this is coz I'm not on my bike but its a vicious circle. I'm also becoming increasingly aware of my mortality which isn't helping.

I sometimes have (very frustrating) enforced absences of mojo/riding through health (MS). When I do feel like getting back to it the first rides are most often the hardest, because some fitness has gone, but at the same time some of the best, because of the sheer joy of getting back to it again. It'll come.

Try going for a walk to the shops if you don't fancy a ride, just say 'sod it all' and get out their.

@postman - off you go. Or do I have to come up to north Leeds and get you shifting? *

* note: today is not a good day for that as I've a job interview later. Tomorrow would be good however!

I need a kick up the proverbial too

The hardest part of any exercise regime is shutting the front door behind you.

Yup this sounds very familiar, feels like I have a blockage in my brain that I cant get past.

I have been out 25 miles.Just Otley with a little sideways ride towards Burley.Got to say it was lovely.Only sad part is,Appleby's gift shop is closing,lease has expired,a super little gift right near the Clock Tower.Been there decades,i have bought many a cycling gift in there,for myself i must add.
Anyway the ride was excellent,no speed no real distance but oh boy how wonderful.Oh and another cafe found,as my fave cafe does not open mondays.Thanks for the encouragement guys and gals.Just one thing more.I got a new mobile last week,Microsoft Lumia 640 lte.i put 'CYCLERS' on as an app.Set it going and orf i went,got to Otley to pause it,i had not set it to work.What a dummy i am,so going to look for some info on the web for next time.

Well done, good to get going isn't it!?
I found my Ride with GPS app isn't made for Windows Phone when I changed so I've been using Endomondo, most professional and reliable of the apps on Windows Phone I thought. Then you can export the GPX from them to a site of your choice.
