Sorry this is a bit of a whinge, but I'm another one for the club. I've had a few aborted rides recently.
Yesterday for example should have been perfect. It was a sunny dry day with little wind. I sorted out a long ride to do, which could have finished my one of the AUK awards* off on the last day of the season if I had submitted it, and brought me back up to pace for my annual distance target. I had a decent night's sleep, woke up early ready to go - and didn't even manage to leave the house. For some reason I couldn't mentally face the time on the bike needed for a DIY 200, and then got annoyed with myself for not riding it so ended up not riding at all.
I need to try something different I think. That might be playing in the mud on my hardtail, going for a short tour or maybe going back to hill walking for a while. Whatever I do, I need to change how I think about riding a bike. I've got myself into the position of putting pressure on myself to ride long rides, and doing that can make them start to feel like a chore, which is silly because I know I enjoy riding my bikes and that should be more important than any self imposed targets.
*Ok a minor award for many on here, but I would have been quite satisfied personally
