But this weekend and it looks as though the temp is going to approach 50F- the wind will only be up to around 10 mph and any rain will only be in short showers. Looks like the best weekend for riding in a long time. Even have a reason to go out and get some milage in as locally there is a road Time trial going on and I know several of the riders so it will be worth going out and supporting them.
But Murphy has raised his head. Started last night and I have to admit that it is unusual for me. This morning and I have lost my Voice. Lungs feel as though they have filled up with the Brandy I took last night as a preventative and my throat feels as though someone has put a Rasp down it overnight. Head is beginning to feel solid but it would be OK if the wife stopping practicing on the Drums.
Might be a very short ride tomorrow and it might even be by car.
Getting sick is not good, but it's the change of season I think, until the weather gets itself sorted out, nearly everyone is going to feel like cr*p. Wife here had a bad sore throat for a couple of days and then it turned into a nasty cold. Speaking of cold, it's been cold, wet and windy all weekend, after a nice week. A week where there wasn't light long enough to ride, my bike headlight isn't working right, right now, so I need to pickup another one before riding in the dark. Today I feel blah, it's going to be in the teens Celsius all week though, sunny most days and with the time change it's light until 7:30 now, so should get in a couple of good rides, before it gets cold and snows again.....
