Lost the bug

[trickylad]

Got bikes in the shed. Got parts waiting to be used. Got frames back from the shop. Got new trails to ride.

But lost the bug.


What to do?

Happened to you?

Go for a ride on your favourite trail, ride it as hard and fast as you can, you'll soon remember why you love bikes

Get a steel bike!

watch some biking vids, phone ya riding buddies, just go for a spin round the block. basically do anything bike related (other than sp[end too much time on here!) works for me.

i have times when i lose the bug too, not surprisingly it's mostly in the winter. leave it for a while and wait until you miss it . . . then you'll get the bug back

As has been said before, watch some vids old and new (Dirt, Getta Grip, and Chainspotting are particularly good at getting the old spark back I find), put your saddle down, do some wheelies around the car park, and you'll be fine...

Never lose faith in the colour of the sky!!!

go to meet like Thetford tomorrow.

I've lost it too.

I'm sure to find it again.

Agree. Winter is just a downer. So keep the bikes good then ride once the weather is better

Thanks fellas

New job, new house, baby no 3 due very soon, crap winter, no more cycling commute, football season.

I think it's all against me.

Just had a nice pm from a pal on here. His suggested remedy?

A new PACE.

I think he might be right....

I find spending time on here gets some momentum back.. if I had like-minded people nearby, getting out and dirty (on the trails!!) I guess would have a similar (and more beneficial) effect..

That rut has slippery sides... far too easy to fall into but a complete sonofabitch to climb out...
