do you ever feel like not riding?

[Kx450fguy]

I went out yesterday and i just didnt feel good out there and after about 45 minutes of riding i left because i didnt feel like riding. does anyone else ever feel like not riding some days? or am i a total outcast on this one? im kind of worried and i dont want to make a habit of feeling like this

[KJ790]

Once in a while I'll have a day where something just doesn't feel right riding. I normally just pack it up and go home and chalk it up to an off day. Don't worry, it happens.

[Jaketinaboxer]

If i don't feel like riding i won't even load up and go.

Did you eat Taco Bell on the way to your riding spot?

[Malindor]

I agree that you did the right thing. Everybody has an off day. Its better to recognize this and go home, than to keep at it and possibly get hurt...

[Kx450fguy]

lol no i did not eat taco bell. and i didnt know it was an off day until i started riding. i was super excited, that's why it totally bummed me out.

I had about a month when I didn't feel like riding at all last year. Almost sold the bike and all my gear. About a month later there was a day that I had absolutely nothing to do and out of nowhere decided to head out to the track and do some riding, and I was over it. Other than that, I can't think of any time that I've said "I don't really feel like riding today".

[Kx450fguy]

k cool. i feel alot better now. i will probably take a little break from moto. i usually ride 2-3 times a week and maybe if i take a couple week break i will appreciate it more

i want to load the bike up and ride today, but we have wind gusts up to 30 right now and a couple weekends ago on a windy day i had the bike blown right out from under me. so im not goin riding lol.

[XpressCS]

Yeah, I'm getting that feeling right now. Was just out all afternoon yesterday with friends, so I'm feeling slightly worn out.

[Tucraysz2]

yeah, I get like that sometimes...

[schrode]

the only time i feel like that is if i drank too much the night before. in which case i make myself go ride and just take it a little easier. i always feel better in the end. i only trail ride though no mx.

funny story, 2 years ago i went riding solo really hung over. i did around 20 miles of s.t. and ended up at a pass on a beautiful cool day still feeling pretty rough so i layed down in the sun and took a nap. i woke up after about 45 minutes really abruptly, stood up and looked around. there were cougar prints about 10 feet away from me that i'm pretty sure weren't there when i layed down. close call indeed. no more naps alone!

One day i was out on the trails and i didnt feel right while riding. Felt exhausted and just wasnt in the mood to ride. So I decided well at least to get a little more exercise i would go a little farther and faster. Ended up hitting something going over the handlebars and broke my arm. Bad thing was I wasnt riding with anyone so I had to walk to the nearest house and ask for help. So if you dont feel like riding dont go theres always tomorrow.

I have been racing with AVDRA for about a year and a half now and for a portion of that time, I was working the graveyard shift after racing all day. There were times when I didn't want to ride because I was so tired. I had a few crashes and I think fatigue was definitely part of it.

Now, when I'm pretty tired, I don't feel like riding, but that's about the only time.

[Mikeb12]

absolutely. i call it my spidey sense and i pay close attention.

[XRToecutter]

I live to ride, I get sick of driving my cage.

[dirt duchess]

I always feel like riding....even when I don't feel like riding. To explain. I may not feel like riding in at the beginning of the day, but then again I don't feel like doing anything that day. Then I head out for the trails and start off at sort of a mellow pace on the easy stuff. Usually I get perked up and into a more lively mode and rythm, then tackle more technical stuff. If I stay kind of blah, I just finish a somewhat shorter day on the easy stuff. If I still don't feel good at the end of a ride, I am probably coming down with a cold.

[Darrell41653]

I am usually to tired by the weekends to ride...I do it anyway.
