Dunno, although that just seems to be a result of doing something I find enjoyable.

are you eating well? i find that if i'm feeling unmotivated, bored etc etc it's quite often linked to diet - too much rubbish, not enough vitamins. not enough water. last time i realised that i'd only drunk coffee/ tea or beer for 10 days.

another time i drove to dundee, gorging on toblerone, barefoot!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Accept what you cant change, change what you can accept!

Sounds like you can change all that stuff! Alternatively, do what I do and sign up for a challenge to get the motivational juices flowing.

I've done a Polaris challenge in the past - brilliant fun!
Or, with your road bike, sign up for a London to Paris event (i did that in 2009).

A local sportive event?

Camping trip with the boys?

Like motor sport - go to Le mans 24hr race - bloody awesome (we camped).

A new hobby?

I do in secret. I often sneak to the pie shop for lunch but dont tell anyone cos I like the vegetarian image and Im scared I'll lose friends if they found out I ate meat!

emsz - you do realise you're on the official guest list for the next sexyparty at Swinley now, don't you? No chance that you can be in Oxfordshire most weekends without attending!

Phil Cowley Road is full of them stoodentz, apart from them it's really quite a nice place. ๐Ÿ˜‰

ive been down lately too. been a really lonely christmas for me as my girlfriend left me in the autumn but you got to pull yourself out of it. diet is really important you know. eating loads of chocolate is just going to make you sugar crash which does feel like unexplainable depression.

my new years res has been to make a point of noticing the beauty in the world again. sounds corny i know but just making a point of thinking 'the colour of those redish brown leaves aginst the green of the grass is really stunning' etc at least once a day has really helped me out of my funk

chin up init spring is on its way the nights are already half an hr later. itll be long rides and beer gardens before you know it

TSY you should have been at Standen on Monday the Pheasants were just falling out of the sky... or maybe the shooters had something to do with it. Fortunately MTB'er wasn't on the menu.

emsz - me too, it was when I worked behind the bar in the coach & horses. Mind you chatted up might be overstating it, a forthright drunken proposition might be closer. Sadly my gf (at the time) was waiting at home.

DT perhaps you need to talk to TJ (or was it Simon) about CBT!

To me you sound a bit depressed - just a bit but heading for the "black" It could be a touch of SAD or it could be simple depression.

There is no one answer to this. Self help works for some, talking therapies in various flavours for others, medication for others or more usually a combination.

Exercise, diet, all good for you. Eat well and push yourself to get out on a bike. set achievable targets and achieve them. Talk to your partner.

email me if you want any more detail

Cowley Road is like Pontins off season compared to the arse end of Swinedump, they are at it like dogs down the bottom of town, its inhumane, oh the horror, the horror, actually the final scenes of apocalypse now were all filmed on location just outside walkabout and down from yates's.

Where as CoCo's on the Cowely Rd used to do the best breakfast pizza ever!!
