Awake at five thirty

This morning I set the alarm for five thirty, and I recharged my bike lights, head unit and more. I decided that if I felt good, and full of energy I would go for the group ride. I slept through the night and woke up feeling fresh, but I skipped the ride.

I had a cold, and when I got better from the cold I was double vaccinated against the flu and COVID. I then slept like crap two nights ago and now I feel good.

I felt good yesterday. I felt a yearning to join the bike ride today but I didn’t feel a yearning to be cold, as surprising as that might sound. I suspect that by next week I can join the Wednesday morning ride again.

It has been at least a week since I went for my last bicycle ride. Between my cold, the weather, and vaccinations, the last week and a half were not good for cycling.

Cold and Dark

If I had gone for the bike ride this morning, it would have been cold and dark. This hasn’t bothered me before, but after being sick for a few days I prefer for my body to recover fully. I will almost certainly go for the Saturday group ride, although I might be with the “lazy” group as I call it. I need to get back in form after a week and a half of laziness. I can also cycle this afternoon when it’s warmer and more pleasant.

And Finally

I expect that next week I will go for the Wednesday morning ride if it is planned. I decided to give my body an extra day or two to recover from the cold and vaccinations. Saturday I will go for the usual bike ride. Weather should be fine.
