We've lost the desire... how do we get it back?

[indica]

recently, we've lost the desire...... to ride.

I have as well, the bike has been sold.

I'm sure when the time and the weather permits I will regret and re purchase

Oh no!

The relentlessly shit weather has me on a downer but I know if I sold the bike I'd

a) Not get a good price for it
b) Not have the money for a new one

It's coming out when the rain is gone!

a) Bike was 10 years old..... so,,,,, probably gonna die at some point.
I will too I guess

b) if I get keen I'll just pretend there is money

But… how can you do n+1, when there is no n?

But… how can you do n+1, when there is no n?

0 + 1 = 1

Advanced modern mathematics.

0 + 1 = many.

I think that we've been really limiting ourselves for all of these years. The correct number of bikes to own is aₙ=2ⁿ where n is the number of bikes you currently have and a is the number of bikes you should have.

Like everything desire related if a change of perspective doesn't work toys are the answer.

I used to be massively into endurance sport - first running ultra marathons (100km, 100mile) then cycling.

In 2017 I did the Haute Route Pyrenees and Alps back to back (1800km, 60 000 vertical meters, basically a 6-8hrs on a bike every day for 2 weeks in the big mountains in France). It was amazing but it was so hard that it totally and permanently killed my desire to do very long endurance sport.

Now I just do a lap of Manly Dam or 1hr ride every now again and have found other sporting interests. If the desire is gone it's OK to move on.

Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?

The obvious answer here is to spend up on artisanal frame building gear and build yourself a new bike.
n + 1(tools)
