One of the reasons I love MTB is the combination of exercise with that feeling of flow, where you’re completely focused on the moment and everything else just slips away. I find it a great way to unwind after a stressful week/day at work and it’s probably the main reason I’m not an unbearably grumpy git 😀

However, I’ve had this irritating chesty cough that everyone’s seemed to have this year that’s been going on for 3 weeks now, and can probably expect another week or two of it according to others who’ve had it. This has coincided with a particularly stressful period at work (which probably hasn’t helped the cough) and meant that I’m without my main source of stress relief.

What do people do other than biking to blow off steam? I do a bit of yoga which helps, but it doesn’t get close to the feeling of flow on a bike.

*awaits suggestion of coke and hookers*

blues and bourbon or whiskey and wimmin

go for a walk in the woods / read a book / play an instrument

I lift heavy objects.

It’s stress relief but it’s different to cycling, less zen.

Pornhub?

As for chesty coughs, November I had mine, still got it.

Have been trying that, I’m a total lightweight who can’t handle hangovers though. For some reason whisky (already awesome) is about 25% better when you have a cold 😀

I shall leave that to you Perchy 😉

I certainly wouldn’t know anything about that, is it a website? *checks over shoulder for girlfriend watching*

Bugger, that’s bad news. Your abs must be like rocks by now though! I’ve currently got a sore muscle in my side from coughing so much…

I wish, sore intercostals for the most part.

Oh and being woken in the small hours every night feeling like I’m drowning whilst I cough my guts up – produces about 10ml of clear liquid.
