I have to have some blood work done, a liver function test (because of the tamoxifen) and a thyroid test. Both are non fasting. The lab is on the way to work. Will riding there throw anything off?

Not sure it makes any difference, but I remember riding quite hard to one blood test which was supposed to be non-fasting, and then measuring blood glucose which was down at a fasting level. Just burned it all right off I guess.

You should be fine to ride before those two tests. It's not a 100 miles to work, is it? You'll be fine.

I'm actually wondering the same thing. I know not to get blood tests done right after a marathon, but what about a really tough half?

Don't know anything about the science, but sending good wishes for passing your blood tests with flying (riding?) colors.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

My unscientific guess is ride but ride easy. If it was important not to exercise right before they would have told you so.
