First ride since COVID caught me a couple weeks ago.
Last ride of Daylight Saving Time.
First ride of November.
Not the first ride of the season on my winter bike with tights and jacket - but shorts weather is over.
I started having COVID symptoms on a Thursday, but it didn't seem bad enough and I refused to believe it was COVID until friends told me it probably was, and I tested positive on Friday and spent the next week mostly in bed or sucking down Nyquil. I only had a fever and chills and achiness for a few days, but the fatigue and brain fog lasted two weeks. Then I think I caught a regular cold right after that so I've been coughing and snotty ever since. But it was beautiful weather and I am sick of feeling like a sick slug, so I kitted up and rode.
Slower than usual, and I was tired-er than usual when I got to Junction - still operating on reduced lung capacity. I'm always glad that I rode even when I had a good excuse not to - but today I was extra glad when it was over.
Went on a group dog walk downtown later in the afternoon and had an Alison spotting. And then I voted.

Hi Scott!!! GREAT to see you (and your friends) too - and so good to hear you're feeling better. I know so many people who have been slammed with Covid lately. Ugh. We've both been off our bikes lately and it is good to be back, especially on the last day of DLS. :)
