To ride or not??

[Sandra6]

Not wanting to spread my germs around the gym I've decided to give it a miss today, but it's sunny and I want to go on my bike.
I'm wary though, after feeling so knackered last time I ventured out. (my mile commute to work hasn't been an issue, but why would it be?! )
The only flat route I can think of has a section over the golf course and it's going to be muddy. The only other alternative is to do a road route, but that's never much fun in traffic.
I could always just go out and turn left, then right, then see where I end up for a bit.
hmmm. I might have a cup of tea first.

Personally, when I have a cold or virus, I stay off the bike, or at best cycle very steady if I feel ok'ish.
The body is a finely tuned thing, you tip over the edge very easily with a cold and risk bonking very easily if you overdo it even just a little.
Very very steady if you do.

I have the horrible man flu, no way I'm getting on the bike

Lazy buggers ! If it's real flu then don't ride, anything else (including missing limbs, broken body parts) then ride - some air will do you good !

 

[fossyant]

Oh and stop worrying about breakfast portion sizes (another thread) - you haven't got on that bike yet - go on, get out !!

 

[Sandra6]

I'm going.
Think I'll go past lidl and buy some more cereal

 

[fossyant]

Have you gone ?

Don't forget more cereal !

I was going, honest, but then I got side tracked and watched The Change Up instead - funny funny film.
I'll ride the long way to work instead, promise.

I remember being told with running, if its a head cold its fine, if its very chesty dont go out - no idea how much fact is in that.

Take some Lemsip Max/Sudofed Decongestant and youll probably surprise yourself by being faster than normal.

Fresh air is always good for you.

I don't know about this man flu business but I'm fairly certain I had leg flu this morning.

Man up and ride.
