First ride this week despite the warmest weather we've had since last October. I came down with some sort of stomach bug on Monday and missed 1.5 days of work and 3 days of riding. I kind of needed a break anyway since I rode 240 miles last week, and the timing was good because the pollen levels have been extremely high all week. My ride this morning was very slow, even with three days rest, because I had a stiff headwind all the way to work and I'm still recovering from being sick. Felt good to be riding again tho, but I might regret it if the pollen sets off my allergies. We usually have one week every year, usually in early April, when the pollen goes crazy around here and this week is it. I suffer through it, but got really sick from it one year when I put in a whole bunch of miles during the peak pollen period.
