Just wonder whether any people had the thought of leaving cycling. And why? What makes you continuing on it?
I used to ride with a fellow who chaged sports every 10 years or so. He seemed to think that 10 years was long enough to achieve the goals he had.Originally Posted by claystevens

I got hit by a car about 8 or 9 years ago and pretty much stayed off the bike until the start of 2013. Used to do the odd ride, but no racing or real training. Would sometimes go months between rides. Still don't feel very comfortable in traffic, thankfully have some good options where I live and can train on very quiet roads.Originally Posted by claystevens

I have quited 3 times in the past 7 years. You are totaly right WIllemJM.Originally Posted by WillemJM
Quit many times when my job gets in the way to the extent where I can no longer ride competitively.
Started again many times.
One gets addicted to the feeling of being healthy and fit when riding competitively, it sure improves body, mind and overall outlook on life.
Somewhere around the 80-85 mile mark of a century, I start questioning why I'd ever want to do another one----but I always wind up doing them again. OTOH, I love riding hills. I try to pick centuries that don't have a major climb in the last 20 miles, though.Originally Posted by adenough
Just about every time I ride a long, everlasting hill.
i quit cycling the day I realized I wouldn't become a pro.Originally Posted by claystevens
