I've ridden twice since August 2017.
I'm a piece of shit.
I was really feeling like that too, just couldn't get into a consistent groove. Part of it was maybe loss of interest, part of it was being busy and part of it was being moody/depressed. After a while I knew what was missing in my life was the riding. When I decided to get back at it I didn't even really care about the trails at first, I just made sure I made getting out on the bike a priority. Sometimes it took me the whole day to get my mojo on and get out of the house, but after the first few rides it got easier. It's still a bit of a battle to be honest and I'm riding as much for my physical as my mental health, but I'm really starting to have fun on the bike again. I've had a bit of a personal setback over the past few days but I'm not going to let that derail things. I'm trying to ride everyday. If not on the trails then it's commuting to work and if I can't get motivated to go out in the rain then I'm going for out for a short run. Next step is to get back into trail building bigly.
