Losing interest, to a terminal level :-(

[speccy1]

I`ve lost my cycling mojo before, but this time I feel it`s gone too far and not sure I`m going to pull back from it.

Firstly, I left club riding, I got fed up with it and it started to become the idea of hell to me. Aside from that, I kept up the commuting which I still enjoyed, that now is dying out, a day at a time. I`ve started selling my kit off gradually, and I`m going to be thinning out the bike collection, from 7 probably down to 2..............

I have had a tough time over the last few months with one thing and another, and we have had 3 1/2 months of endless rain, maybe these things have taken their toll??

I do enjoy my daily fix of CC though

Try mountain biking? Spend some of those savings on a blingy full suss and a bottle of muc off

I`m no good at it, I`ve never had the confidence or the ability, I`ve tried before

Ahh you just walk the bits beyond your ability, that's what we all do ..makes a nice change in winter

The amount of walking I end up doing I`d be better off leaving the bike at home

Spend some more of your hard earned on some instruction? Go out with a group?

Maybe just take a break and start up again in the spring

must be loads to do in your area, not all hard technical stuff, cycle route 27 is easy I've done that, much of it off road as such but nevertheless tarmac

or is this sort of thing nowhere near your location?

Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't be worried, only if you had given up cycling and ended up replacing it with driving.

Just try doing the commute by car - that should soon see you back in the saddle!

Now's your chance to learn though.
Don't try, you'll never know nor learn.
