JMcavoy is one committed bloke and I have not seen anyone more committed than he is. Yep he is going for his race of a lifetime and he really has his $hit together family wise, work wise, and bike wise. Also very understanding wife great kids.
It is a fine balance at that level and definately hard to keep the motivation. One he seems to have got right in a short period. It is what it takes to be good is lots of hours.
But seriously all other mere mortals can do is have small goals. If it is dropping a few kg's or riding 8 hours in the week instead of 6 or beating your TT. Also maybe 1 big goal for 3-6 months time have a big race planned to work towards. Keep it real and fun. Do skills days with the local club and it will all come together.
