Flu
Anyone else suffering?
After breaking my elbow in December I was just getting back into it only to be laid low after 3 weeks back on the bike.
Now well into week 2 of crapness and seriously eff'd off. I keep thinking 'oh I'll just do an easy hour on the turbo, zone 2 what's the harm' - no chance.
Having got the 'Road cyclists training bible' for Xmas the irony is

We can't have that can we. Much better to risk killing vulnerable road users. Less damage to the cars.

I too am suffering, I tore a ligament and was out most of Dec and Jan, now have been out for two weeks with the flu. I need to get back on the bike so that I can become bearable for those around me..
