Ride Description:
Challenges will come and go and today was one of those times. Friday morning I started feeling symptoms of a head cold or allergies, by Friday evening I was feeling even worse and then through the night could barely sleep. I believe I went to the rest room twice at each hour between 10 pm and 4 am with just barely a few minutes of sleep between.

I wanted to go ride with Mike and Gary, but it was pretty apparent that I was in no condition. Even on the flat pavement of the Silver Comet I was struggling to hold speed. Pretty much my whole body ached, but I also did not want to just sit around the house. It was nice to be out in the sunlight and spin the cranks.

I just hope that going today doesn't make it worse and that by next week this dreaded illness is long gone.
