Rode yesterday (not really hard, but it was my first day) and really want to get back out there today. I just dont want to do something to hurt myself. But..I WANNA RIDE!
At the risk of starting one of "those threads", there's riding as an athletic effort and riding for the fun of it. I think if you do the latter enough the first often takes care of itself. Contador hasn't started to worry about you yet, so I think you should go out and ride if you feel like it. Stop and take a day off if your muscles tell you they are tired.
