Feel your pain been working towards the trans Wales managed to do my hamstring off the bike for over a week got the crc marathon on Sunday gone from feeling fit and confident to like pants!!

Chill it’s a few months off yet!! That’s what I tell myself anyway 😆

If you’ve already put in some miles you’ll be fine, it will only put you out of action for a couple of weeks

A bottle of red wine will kill those nasty bugs. Works for me.

what the gold braided one said

I was pretty unfit when I started training,and am now up to 30 miles in a day with full kit,at about 8-9 mph off road,would like to get up to 50 miles a day,so it doesn’t take forever,so don’t like to lose a week.

Vicks First Defence is your friend. Use it at the first hint of a cold and it usually stops it dead.

It’s a cold, give a couple of days and you’ll be back on the bike.

unlike the chaps above, I have sympathy for you. as I too have a stinking cold and cough and am missing a much looked forward to ride in the Lakes tomorrow with dear friends, on dry trails.
