Default Cant catch a break!

Two weeks ago it looked like the weather was going to get warm enough to get in some riding. It did, but I cought a bad case of the flu which put me in bed for a week. No problem I thought, I'll get the weekend ride in anyway. It sure was a great weekend for riding, but my influenza turned to pneumonia, so still no ride. The pneumonia put me in bed for another week. So after two weeks of bedrest, losing 15 lbs because of not eating, plus having a sinus infection along with it. I really just started to feel normal today. Maybe still kinda shakey to ride. but atleast starting to feel normal. So what do i get this weekend? Cold and rainy. Great to be in Michigan.

I will trade you straight up. I will take rain and cold and you take 12" of wet sloppy snow. You can keep the flu though, I don't want it!!

The old saying goes if it doesn't kill you it will make you stronger. I question that theory.
