Feeling lousy and unmotivated

You are strange! I’d ride out side 100 times on the flat before hitting my trainer. You can go hard on the flats, you don’t need a hill.

In any case, I think you just need to pull it together.

  1. Get the trainer out of the garage at least for the summer. Have a talk with the wife. A hot, humid garage doesn’t work.

  2. Get your diet together - you know what to do.

  3. How about a group ride on the weekend? My club does a Saturday group ride and a Wednesday night race simulation ride. More than anything I look forward to the Saturday group ride every week.

  4. Pick an alternate event to train for in the fall. Lots of fondos and gravel events still seem to be scheduled for the fall as everybody is hoping covid19 will be on the wane.
