Cycling on the road bike has felt harder and I feel like I don't have that ambition / drive to cycle faster.
It's definitely a mental thing - I don't feel like I'm pushing harder either. I feel like I could always go harder.
I'm still commuting - as the cycling makes me happy and content with the world.
There's been a bit of rain so it's been interesting looking for outfits that work.
It's been a mixture of dresses that I think will survive the rain and still look ok at work (as I like cycling in a dress), and black exercise gear (so it doesn't go see through in the wet).
Anyway, my husband thinks it's as with life, there are ups and downs and that I'll get there again.
Hopefully.
Anyway, it made me determined to get back into it so I signed up for the 80km Bobbin Head Classic in a few weeks.
It is up North and involves hills. Real hills. (I haven't done any real hills yet).
(80km ride details here)
And more than 56km (my max ride length at the moment - although arbitrarily rather than due to lack of fitness or want - I've just never had a reason to stay out more than 2.5 hours on a bike).
I should probably do some training....
Although, being an organised ride, there'll be rest stops etc so it shouldn't be too hardcore..
We'll see.
