Wednesday Night Baiku

[Augustus]

Night Baiku:

Train home, tired. Bail? S’pose not. Bail on Mrs Wu. She passes me at speed on the way out, on my way in. Change and get gone. Slow. Ache. Not in the zone. Pass her again. Stop. Talk. Continue on our respective paths. Cold. Climb up onto the South Downs. Beautiful. Watch a whole sun sink below the hills opposite. Clear evening morphs into still night in front of my adjusting eyes. Spin and before long switch to Lumicyle power. Road then train home. Park in garage. Eat Pizza and be merry. Woken up now. Best ride of my life.

Not in the zone.

Hmm, least its not just me that suffers with this occasionaly.

How do you overcome it?

Do you bail? Do you keep riding and hope you drop 'into the zone'? I never know. I keep going......but dont enjoy it.

If it's an under the weather/ not feeling well 'not in the zone (NITZ)' then I'd bail. Do more damage than good riding when not well.

If it's a tired, not in a good mood kind of a NITZ, then there's nothing nature can't do to remedy the situation and leave me feeling better than if i'd bailed.
