Actually I have been sick- thanks for asking. I had the sinus infection from hell last fall and recurring colds all the way through june of this year. It kept me off the bike for a while but I am quite committed to commuting every day. Im hoping that with some miles behind me I can not get sick as much this year, but I don't know if riding really makes any difference- as evidenced by recently coming down with another cold. I am also trying to eliminate as much as possible eating refined sugar, taking a multivitamin, etc. Probably a bit on the paranoid side bust last year was absolutely terrible. Here's to a better year and to many a snot rocket on the trails.
