interesting article on bicycling.com website today about rest and recovery as part of the training process.

When I finished the cross country tour, it took me a week of sleeping in late, getting up, wandering off to find some brunch, going back to the motel, taking a nap, getting up again and wandering off to find some dinner and then going back to bed for the night , before I could even begin to think about things in real life like packing and shipping my bike, renting a car and driving home, or even doing any touristing in St. Petersburg.

I think the forgetting the bike is a clear hint that you need to take some time off.
