I agree with ABQ Patrick that maybe you're just overdoing it. Even though you're not "training" there are some training principles that could work for you. Doing something during the winter to keep a fitness base might help. Treadmills and ellipticals (oh the horror!) if you don't like the cold, jogging, walking, running, cross country skiing, swimming, 3-4 days a week. Mixing in some weight training helps too. Mixing up your intensity once you start to ride in the spring. See Grant's Tabata. You can get that workout done in under 30 minutes and reap tremendous benefits. Mix in a ride or two where you're just putzing along. And a complete rest day. Again, even though you're not officially training, getting fitter will increase your enjoyment. Lastly, I've learned that if I feel bad, it's ok to turn around and put the bike back in the garage. Even while training for PBP there were a few times that I rode less than a mile before turning around because it just wasn't there for me that day. Also, if you mix things up a bit it can chase away the tedium of the same old thing.
