The RUT

I'm in a RUT.
Got a message from my sister and she's in one too.

From my limited experience of cycling, when my tyres slip into a rut instinct tells me 'this is not a good place to be'.  So I grip the handlebars and pedal a little harder.  It takes a few goes but eventually I power out and, sweating with panic, I let go and relax.

I'm not sure you'll ever be rut free but with experience you can spot them early and take the right action.

So what does our rut look like?
- we're tired
- we have limited time
- we're struggling to keep on top of our daily lives
- we don't have any spare cash
- we're eating for comfort and putting on weight
- we're wondering why we're even bothering...

Our attempts at gripping the handlebars have worked in the past but this time we've let go and relaxed a little too much and just seem too tired to summon the real power to push harder.

Something needs to change.
