summertime blues

Is there a cure for the summertime blues? If so, please direct me to it.

Kind of at a bike inflection point. I still love to ride, but am feeling like a Groundhog Day extra, getting up, working, cranking out an hour or so of steady state/tempo/recovery. Shower. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

Having waved off Copper Triangle (my daughter has a track meet), and been Heismanned by the HCD en masse on the USAPCC,  I have no motivator in the near-term. Levi's King Ridge looms in September, distant enough that it's on the fringe of consciousness.

I am a mudder. By this I mean that I enjoy the ritual of the workout for the ritual's sake. I find the structure comforting, however redundant. Hopefully something reignites the passion. Until then, I'll just slowly sharpen the blade...

Given the heat, perhaps we could spice it up with some dark starts sans lamps! I rode Sunday mid morning and by the end of 40 miles it was stiffling hot.

Commuting?? New routes??? Hell, I don't know!
