Don't get ill very much but once it hits me feels like somebody hit me with a sledgehammer... I had manflu since last friday..getting better now only slight fever and did rollers for half an hour in easy space 15kmh average... and I think i'm gonna be better more tomorrow fingers crossed.. Can I ride brecon beast this sunday?
Yes.
Show your plague who's boss.
Will you die? Possibly.
I'd rest.
See how you feel on Sunday but if you're off colour don't, it won't be fun
Neck check.
Symptoms above the neck - go, but take it easy
Anything below the neck - ie on your chest, rest.
Knew someone once who kept training through. Ended up fitting and hospitalised. If in doubt, rest.
If in any doubt - don't. Been there, done that and had the best part of a buggered up year as a result and still have occasional ongoing issues.
Not worth the potential harm.
Just rest.
Oh how I remember the hilarity of me shrugging off a fever with a 15 mile run. Oh the fun of throwing up by the road side and passing out. Was laid up for a while after that.
Did manage to run the 15 miles though, cos I'm nails; 8)
I wouldn't. The only time I've been really ill is after I went on a longish ride feeling a bit "off". Go for a walk instead.

Sadly, a virus will be in your blood; all over your body.
Here's a warning from an aquaintance of mine.

This is what I do. Go out before - ride gently and keep turning it up.. If you feel worse, stop go home and stay off bike.
I'd rest, I once went for a cycle in the snow while under the weather because I didn't want to miss out, and I was poorly for 2 or 3 weeks afterwards.
Being younger and living at home at the time it was vaguely worth it I guess, with me having no responsibilities, but I wouldn't do it again.
Rest, definitely rest, or it'll set you back a bit in your recovery.
I had 2 days off work at the start of last week due to man flu, still got the chest infection and feel quite weak when commuting into work - I'd give a long ride a miss.
God knows how the pros manage to ride when they are ill!
It's a no go then 🙁 ...thanks lads appreciate the comments
Woudl you like me to ride the beast in your place under your name?
Its a service I offer seeing as i'm goign to try and get a place on the line if possible.
I will share your pain through riding instead and trying not to enjoy it too much
