First day back on the bike after a week home sick. It was a very pleasant ride at about 45*F, and it did me a world of good. I still have a cough but I feel human again!
Every time I've been sick for the last 4 years, it's been true that in the last week I didn't ride every day. As long as I was riding daily, if I did get sick, it wasn't bad enough to miss work. The only times I was that sick I had either vacation days or days I drove for some reason within the previous week.
