I know what you mean…it’s like being let out of prison that first time you get to ride your bike again.

I’m about to undertake a 3-week forced “vacation” from the bike (due to a medical procedure)…I’m going to be an emotional wreck until I can pedal again!!!

Know what you mean: I was out for about 2 weeks after my back went out. Getting back on the bike felt sooo good. Been biking through the snow the last few days (car in the shop, oh well).

Ah.. well, I’m not sure what I had ever got officially diagnosed. At one point I was diagnosed with sinusitus (and I think that contributed to the awful congestion). But then the sore throat came out of nowhere and then kind of kept coming back. Lots of rest! Lots of menthol lozenges. Hoping it’s gone now…

what did you end up having and what did you do to get rid of it (or did it just go away as suddenly as it came on)?

Yes. Good post. The joy of riding.

Merry Christmas to all… buon natale!

And may you all ride many wonderful kilometers (not too cold or wet!) over the holidays!

Know how you feel – I’ve been battling a cold for the last week or so as well and haven’t been riding.

I know the feeling of just being thankful to ride. I’ve been plagued with what I think is a strained knee ligament. I’m okay for about 10 miles, but then it starts to make itself known. I’m hoping over the holidays it will get enough rest to be able to resume my commuting in the new year.
