Riding with a cold

Hey guys! I have been sick for the past two days and it is getting in the way of my riding. I skipped today's ride but I really want to go tomorrow. Will riding make me feel really bad? Do any of you ride when you have a cold? How do you feel while riding?

I don't really have anything serious, just a little nose congestion no fever or chest congestion.

The ride I plan to go on is going to be a challenge for me:70 miles with about 10,000 ft climbing, but I can cut it short to 50 miles and 7000 ft climbing, I will not be riding hard, just looking to finish the ride.

The high temp tomorrow is going to be 62, I will be wearing pear izumi sun sleeves and will take along a wind jacket.

So if you had a cold and you had all these conditions, would you go? Or would you stay at home and rest?

Thanks!
