I've lost the bug

Oi! He'll be fine as long as there are no road cones around!

You'll pull through it Jim. Just remember all the good that the cycling is doing you. Maybe we should arrange a wee jaunt over Crow Road to blow away the cobwebs!

Maybe once the roadworks around Fintry have gone, was there 2 weeks ago cone alley

Probably best to steer clear then!

Cones are definitely the last thing you need !!

I dont have any trouble with the mileage as i know every inch of my commute off by heart which i guess makes it a bit boring although not as boring as the tube.

pop in to the new Decathlon that's opened up less than 10 mins from my house, buy a thing or 10 and see if that helps.

They're open until 10pm IIRC.

There goes the money for Mrs BhoyJim's Xmas pressies....

Been cycling almost every day this year (only missed about 10 days) but the last 2 weeks i'm having to force myself, start work at 5am, so 4am rise, some mornings i can barely make it to work, don't know if it's the cold/dark/wet that's doing it, but the bug has defo gone, i only need another 300 or so miles to make it to 5000 for the year, will it pass ? has anyone else had the same problems ?

He he! I was gonna say "you should try living in Glasgow" and then I noticed...you do!

It is very true about the old saying "must have an aim".

I got to the stage of almost throwing my bike on the skip in 1999.
I was cycling to and from work approx 30 miles per day. Same route, Monotonous and boring.

Then I discovered AUK's 'Mileater' medal...

I investigated and applied for a Mileater diary.

In Y2K, I got 10,000 km done and in 2001, received a shiny enameled medal.

There were only a few AUK members who rode further and I was well up the list in the 2001 handbook.
