It has been 8 days since receiving stitches in my elbow and losing the skin on my hip.
3 days ago I made the mistake of saying out loud :”I think I’ll try riding my bike today” and was subsequently struck with a cold as well.
Last night I laid out my cycling kit (ensuring I had a enough layers covering elbow and hip) and overnight was cursed with a chest infection.
Someone is trying to tell me something.
With my racing season temporarily interrupted I have decided to prolong said season by booking myself 4 nights at The Chainstay in East Flanders in September! Not content with crashing on Belgian cobbles against young boys half my age I am going to race 3 Masters’ races in 5 days and see if “living like a Belgian” will help me to “ride like a Belgium”.
Unlikely but life is for living right and what’s more winter’ll be here soon so let’s get racing!!
PB 😉
