A Week off the Bike

bike

Testing ice cream by Lake Garda, Italy.

Being in NY was not easy for cycling, The weather was cold and I got a cold – either from the weather of the plane’s air conditioning system on the way back. The result is after a good March I’ve had over a week off the bike. It might not seem that much, but, it feels a long time when you’re about to start racing.

My first race of the season is on Saturday a 10 mile time trial. I don’t like racing when I haven’t been fully fit. But, I need to start racing to develop more race speed.

Riding with a cold.

I’m not sure about the conventional wisdom of riding with a cold. But, I tend to rest. I might go out today, with the tailend of a cold to stretch my legs. Just a bit of a runny nose, but, I feel fine so I’ll try a short ride and see.
