Riding every day between Christmas and new year inclusive went out the window yesterday when I came down with the mother of all headaches (not alcohol induced). Luckily there seems to be no snot, so hopefully out tomorrow.

Started on Xmas eve with a bad cold, managed Xmas dinner then went right downhill. My nose has now stopped dripping like a tap but my sinuses are that bad my teeth are hurting. Joy. Crappy Christmas everyone!

Me too, had the non shifting blighter since the 21st & it's firmly settled on my chest but as langylad stated, corpious amounts of single malt seems to be easing the symptoms 😉

I had it over Christmas as well, although not that badly. However, I have developed a cough that seems to be lingering. I assume it isn't a good idea to get back into training with a cough?

Hmmm. I'd had a sore throat/cough for the last few weeks that yesterday turned into some kind of weird manflu episode.

By about 9pm last night I was freezing cold and shivering uncontrollably, then boiling hot lying in bed, but every time I moved I was freezing cold again.
Feel a bit better today, but a long way from right...

I had a couple of days of feeling awful before Christmas and have been left with a bit of a cough but today I decided I had to get out and did a short road ride in frost, fog and winter sunshine. I'm coughing a bit but seem to have survived.

Mine kicked in on Christmas Eve and still seems just as much as home a week later - I can usually be rid of the blighters in a day or two. As above, so much green mankiness - where does it come from?

Enjoying being on packed, stationary overcrowded trains every day even less than usual, for some reason. However, a rare day off tomorrow and come what may I am out on my bike.
