Feeling weak on the bike

[Globalti]

You deposit viruses on objects like keyboards, door handles and cups just by touching them with hands that have been used for nose-blowing. Other people then pick up the viruses, rub their eyes or pick their noses and the virus rampages through their upper respiratory tracts. This is why washing your hands as soon as you reach home or office is a good idea; it limits the amount of viral contamination in the environment. Avoiding rubbing your eyes or touching your nose is another way of reducing viral infection.

Beginners in cycling often underestimate the time their bodies need to recover from a major effort. A relatively unfit amateur on a heavy bike will need longer to recover than an athletically fit, well-muscled young rider on a lightweight bike.

Sorry Globalti, I was trying to be funny.
i took heed of your words though, and resisted the temptation to go out on the bike this morning.
Instead I cleared out the understairs cupboard and triggered my dust allergy. think I'll have a lie down.

I did come across a bit, er, snotty I suppose! Arf arf!

Go easy on yourself and allow your body time to recover, especially if you're new to cycling and stressing yourself a lot. They say you lose fitness at a third the rate you gain it so a week off won't harm you, in fact you'll feel stronger after a rest.

snotty! lol!
It's alright, you had a point and I tend not to take things personally.
I've not been out on the bike much lately (or in the gym for that matter) and I get cross with myself about it. Silly really.
Sod's law that when I am fit and well it pishes down or I have to work over time and don't get chance to do anything fun.
