One of the toughest sports seasons of the year is upon us. You probably need a break after a long season of competitions and hard training. The cold, the rain or the shorter days do not help much in these coming months and a lack of motivation looms at the doors of cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But since we don\u2019t want your passion for two wheels to die out, here are a few tips to combat a lack of motivation in cycling. Continuing to enjoy the sport is much easier than you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This advice is not valid for every cyclist. In fact, for some would be incapable. But it is true that data is often the main cause of <\/strong>a lack of <\/strong>motivation in cycling.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have taken a break after the season, in order to recharge your batteries, you may have paid dearly for it by losing your form. But don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s normal and it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not the time to think about distances, paces, weights <\/a>or anything like that<\/strong>. It’s time to get back into habits and routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the great wonders of cycling is the social life<\/strong>. Now that you have goals in sight and are not \u201ctied\u201d to specific series or workouts, make the most of it and enjoy sharing your hobby with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A long ride, enjoying the scenery in good company and without paying attention to the numbers is a real joy. The love of cycling continues to grow and there is an ever increasing presence of groups and clubs out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are not going to fool ourselves, cyclists are sportsmen of fixed ideas and habits. Most of us have our usual training areas and, for convenience, we don’t usually leave them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, looking for new routes and training zones can be a motivational plus <\/strong>for the breaks between competitions or during the pre-season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we’re not just talking about outdoor cycling, you can also try Bkool and its more than six million cycling routes<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFind a group<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
