When not to ride..........chest cold

[Mya]

Glad you're feeling better. Having our lungs hate us, and protest most greatly is a lesson one doesn't soon forget.

And when you start riding again, take it easy, no hard fast rides right out of the starting block, ya hear!

This is so annoyingly true...I'm an avid spinner; 5-7 days a week. I got bronchitis in late november and had it all through december - went down to 3 times a week. Just as i started to get over that, i got Dengue Fever in early and almost died.

Of course, i'm used to being active so not being able to do stuff completely frustrates me! i went back to the gym a week after i got over the "serious stuff" - my lungs almost exploded!.
3 weeks later i'm still only spinning twice a week...my lungs only hate me a little now.
