Some days theres no petrol in the engine?

Sometimes you got out because you think you should but half way round there is nothing there and your cycling like a pu$$y 🙁 Thats it really – Oh well…..

i just imajin kyley and it all just cums gud

It's going to happen to me tomorrow. Not riden in anger for a couple of weeks and going on a long fast roadie run in the morn. Why do we do it?

ha, yea it happens

also, sometimes you wonder why you feel like your redlining and about to blow a gasket… it took me until 90mins into a ride to remember that i'd had 3 espresso's that morning!!! i was flogging myself to death

Yeh doing a 80Km road training ride tomorrow – thought I should get some MTB in but I should really have gone out with stabilisers on 😕 Glad no one saw me doing 5mph in the peeing rain 😐

Yep. Happens to all of us. Remember Cadel Evans losing the pink jersey in the giro d'italia that year?

Anyway, solution. have a rest. Make sure you're well rested, fuelled and hydrated and if that doesn't solve the problem it's probably a sign to back off for a bit. Give your body a chance to recover.

Think your right roadie – been pushing it a fair bit lately even commuting to work 🙄

I was out in Swinley for the first time since early July today, after about 10 miles I was beat so retreated to the gulley and worked on my jumping, but even that was hardwork riding back up for another run!

Couldn't even do small drops today though, riding upto one I knew I could (probably) do, just ended up trackstanding at the lip and doing it at snails pace.

Foxy- Can you post the word 'pu$$y' again? 😯

why – did you like it? 😉

I thought this was going to be a thread about the wife using the car.

If it's not fatigue from over training and not enough recovery it's probably food and water. For me it's normally food.

just eat loads the night before (not just a snack) stay off the booze, and have a good shit before you go out.

Done all the usual – just having an off day – But I think maybe I needed to top up on food a bit more this morning but I have been training for the tour of Britain Pro Ride in 2 weeks so prob that as well. Prob be OK tomorrow 🙂

Had one of those days today. Haven't been on the bike as much, just nothing there. Hopefully it'll all come good tomorrow.

Yup, just got my mojo back post holiday then have a comedy dismount and break a bone in my hand 😕 = another 6wks min off the bike 😥

Was empty again today 🙁 😳 2 torque bars, 1 energy gel and a bottle and 30 mins at the end of the ride I was feeling better 🙁 Had a decent breakfast but obviously not enough 🙁

What is a typical day's food?
When I had a similar problem a couple of years ago, a doctor friend simply said "eat more"!

I do eat a lot – generally healthy – nah I have been feeling really good the last 3 months – I think my body is trying to tell me to have a rest probably 😉

Have a word with the doc, any changes in resting heart rate? Some kind of virus or just over training?

prob just need to give ones body a rest me thinks – no symptoms to speak off – bit tired – need a holiday etc etc. I'm sure things will be fine 🙂
