Listen to your body take a break from riding but don't stop exercising. Go to the gym or start running just don't get lazy sitting at home, otherwise it will be very difficult to come back to riding.

^^^ great advice

You are not alone.

Thank you for everyone's contribution. I have taken this week off and I'll have a braai and a few beers over the weekend and plan on starting next week with a few short MTB rides. I don't have anything planned in the next few months, so there is no immediate pressure. I'll just get going slowly.

Thank you to the community!

What did they do for R200? Zero missing perhaps?

Park the bike until you wake up one morning and feel like doing a ride.

Change which rides you do. If it's not "fun" then don't go. Don't put pressure on a distance, time or waking up super early. Also try and focus on just riding with friends and family until you start liking your bike again.

Don't leave it there. You might pull in there to get a bill for storage, or it was sold to defray expenses.

T&C;s and small print is a thing.
