Motivation?
Following someone on a bike who'se 20 years younger, they look back, see me, speed up.
They look back again, i'm still on their tail.
They look back again ... just as i pass them.
I'm 2.5 stones lighter and 2.5 times fitter in .... 2.5 years of cycling.

For me, weight loss as in the scales on a monday morning and the rare comment from people you see occasionally who look surprised and tell you how much weight you have lost

I suggest that you become seriously ill due to a lack of exercise and a generally silly lifestyle. Assuming that you survive that and the tedium of being virtually housebound for months then I think you will feel pretty motivated to stop it happening again by getting out on your bike more often! ***

Most people go through motivation dips - Certainly know I do. I find it helps if I am training for something. A long ride, a Time Trial, riding with faster people.
There are several sites that help regarding mileage and challenges - such as mycyclinglog. Anyone know if there is anything for turbo sessions/time/miles?

Have you seen how fast the young 'uns cycle once they ditch the works bike and get on their own.
The local sorting office is near to my works, some are on virtual bungey cords!
Maybe i should add a front and rear rack + 20kgs of mail to my already heavy (13.6kg) training bike?

I forget where I was reading about it but I think there is some sort of online game that you can somehow hook up a trainer and computer and race other people online with it. I don't remember what it is called or how much it cost or much more about it. I just rememeber I thought it sounded like a clever idea.

I have 4 Sufferfest Vids and they are very good for making you train harder on your Turbo than you otherwise might. The hardest part is getting motivated to get on the Turbo in the first place.
