Come back.

Kona Jake, 6°C, light NE, dry & grey.

Kona Jake: good conditions & I wore a layer less than yesterday. 6°C is exactly average for the end of December, colder weather will come soon. I’ve lowered the seat by nearly 5mm, a good idea. Thicker winter clothes make this necessary.

Anyway, recovery is going well if somewhat masked by winter conditions. We’ve got two months of this to go.

3 weeks off. Back now.

Kona Jake: cold 6°C, brisk SE, sunny & dry.

2nd ride of the day.

Three weeks off due to a long heavy cold with a persistent cough. There were times with fever and others when it seemed never ending. The turning point was during our holiday in Mallorca. The hotel has a good gym which I used several times a day.

Now I’m back. I’ve lost form (as you’d expect) and ended with a dry cough. Oddly, riding I felt the weight on my arms & shoulders. I thought I’d worked upper body in that gym. It’s going to take a good month to come back.

Was it COVID?
