I've lost interest in many distractions over the years. I have a name for it. I call it "There's No More Flavor In This Gum" syndrome. Sometimes they come back, sometimes they don't. Continuing to ride out of obligation or guilt, or some other sense of responsibility doesn't make a lot of sense - although I'm by no means suggesting that everything I do makes any sense either. Perhaps you've simply reached a "been there, done that" stage and it's not that much fun anymore.

Riding is a pretty risky distraction. If it's not really something you enjoy, I say get a library card or a new girl friend.
