For sheep it does 
The “ethos” of it is about getting outdoors, in the Northern hemisphere and getting the rides in.

Well, this has put paid to my Rapha 500, before it’s even started.
Think I’m sacking off anything remotely physical until 2022.

Bad news, hope you aren’t too affected. I’d definitely back off any serious training and only consider anything if you are feeling well.

Thanks both. Last couple of days have been a bit rough but definitely feeling better now. Got a cough that I can’t shake, but I’m always like that with a heavy cold; it always goes to my chest. Have to isolate until 28th so Christmas plans have had to change. I’ll follow the thread and give out kudos on Strava. Maybe next year.

Oh no, sorry to hear that dude.
I guess the numbers game will dictate that a few on this forum are likely going to be hit in one way or another.
Stay healthy, and try not to get too fat eating mince pies and copious cases of beer for the next week! 
Seriously though, hope you perk up soon.

Best thing was the beer at the finish

ETA: Short one today for me. Christmas food to pick up, solid fuel to stock up and might even get a trip to the beach thrown in

I’ve just looked at my Strava stats for the year and I’ve cycled 6932 miles. Feeling better today, so while 500k would be a bit silly, it seems that knocking off another 68 miles to sneak over 7000 is there for the taking. New rules mean I could be let out on Boxing Day.
