Hi Richard,

 RG> I haven't been on my bike in such a long while that I lost the desire

 Been there many times (time off from riding), We need breaks from
 cycling for both mind and body.  My wife gets mad sometimes when
 I have been spending too much time away on long rides both days of
 the weekend.  My riding drops way down every winter not only 
 because I have trouble tolerating cold tempetures but like you said
 you get your fill.  I don't quit for the winter but there are no five 
 hour rides for me until daylight savings time starts again.  But the 
 good part is when the ice melts in spring and the days start getting 
 longer, I hit the road with more enthusiasm.  Good luck in the Ski
 marathon.
