Just not as strong Tommy, I seem to be better with endurance and lack outright power. Ive got minor niggles which preclude me from long rides-ignoring Tenerife (drug and medical assisted to survive the rides) Also lost a lot of interest in riding flat out. Im contemplating missing both DD and TOC if my issues don't clear up in time. So much else going on in life too-drains enthusiasm
I can definitely relate to lots of that mate.
I’ve always said that riding is like cheap therapy for me. It’s one of the only times I get to shut out all the rest of the stuff I have to deal with concerning my business and family.
If it begins to feel like a chore it’s no fun anymore. All I can suggest is try and use it as an escape from the other crap rather than an added burden. I think the biggest problem with training by numbers I.e, trainerroad, or constant comparing of data. Is that it can become too results driven with not enough emphasis on fun. And if it isn’t fun then what’s the point right.
I haven’t done any long rides this year and when it comes to DD I intend to stay in a group, not push at all, and talk shite for the duration of the shorter distance ride. Why not sign up to that experience bud? And maybe bring some earplugs just in case...

It won’t be the same without you
