At the risk of having things thrown at me, I will confess to riding through too many types of illness.

I started getting a cold on NYD, but had plans for a ride - it was 15 degrees with wind chill temps in the -20 range, and I went anyway for 1.5 hours. Saturday the cold had progressed, but didn't stop me from 1.5 hours of skate skiing at Mt Washington (can you say cold and windy???), and then an hour on the trainer in the basement. Today might have been the nail in the coffin though - felt like cr*p when I got up, but need to do at least a 2 hour ride. Went out and rode MTB in the snow (it was pure torture) for 2.5 hours. Now I can't breathe - all stuffy .

I have, in the past, also ridden a VERY hard ride while I had walking pneumonia (in my defense, I wasn't diagnosed until AFTER the ride ).

Ducking for cover (and hoping not to end up with bronchitis)...
