Many people ask me how you get your cycling mojo back after a break. There is a myriad of reasons why you might have stopped riding your bike. For me, a life-changing event threw me off my normal course about eight weeks ago when my beloved Dad died suddenly. As you grow older you know this life event is coming but I was not ready for it, maybe nobody ever is.
So, this time around the advice about how to get your cycling mojo is for me. Not only have I lost my cycling mojo, but I’ve also lost my blogging mojo. My dad Dennis was one of my biggest blogging fans. He regularly asked me how it was going and I know he read my posts. This is the first time I’ve been able to write about his death, albeit with tears streaming down my face.
I have returned to riding but with less enthusiasm than I usually have, and this week I’ve been laid low with a head cold that’s resulted in a persistent cough. But in a few days, I’ll be ready to go again.
