Road Cycling - To ride or not today...

I am boooored since this is my week off.
Rode 60 miles on sat, 20 on sun, 0 mon, 60 yesterday, thinking of doing 50-60 today, then take tomorrow off and friday I go back.
People in the recovery thread say take a break after every 50-60 mile ride? Should I take today easy?

I don't get it...

If you are training, I guess that makes sense.

But if it's a week off, RIDE MAN RIDE!
Work is for recovering. :)

Ride on brother!

it really depends on the type of riding your doing. if you're really hammering everytime you ride then it would be a good idea to take a break after the longer rides. however, most training programs i've looked at really only have one day off during the week.

There's a saying, "Better to take the day off than need the day off". Take it, no harm done, more good than harm if you have been dedicated and training hard.

Well I was on the verge of needing a day off. Funny thing is I went out anyway and felt fine but the moment I got home I felt the same way I did earlier, sore.

Sounds like you overtrained to me. Take a day and rest.
