G'day Jean, for what its worth, get hold of some "Olive Leaf Extract", it's available in health food shops, (in The UK ?) Take 15ml doses five times a day in water, it's not unpleasant tasting stuff and it works a treat.
Not only will it get you over the dreaded wog, but will clean out the arteries at the same time. Yes, I know I've been away from this forum for some time,
have had other much more pressing things to do/complete. As the saying goes, nothing stays the same. We have to grin and bear it, just keep turning the pedals.

Thanks for that mate. Hope things are better for you than it sounds!
It's been a wierd season. Started to get properly fit then whenever I make the "big effort" takes an eternity to recover - and I'm sure it's not old age!
Team Bridgeford Castle rode the Ariegeoise in the Pyrenees the other weekend. Did a reasonable to good ride, but went back to the shivers for several days and didn't ride for a week.
I'll be down the local health shop tomorrow. Family holiday season about to start so it's enforced rest time anyway.

I don't subscribe to the old age theory either, I'm still only eighteen years young on the inside, it's just the outside that gives the game away. As we age it unfortunately takes a lot longer to recover from anything. It's a bloody shame as well, especially when after a few days of recouperation and feeling like million dollars, getting out on the bike and doing a blinder, only to wake the following morning to have the ****ty, shivering feeling again.
My doctor (same age as me) who incidentally is a friend as well, rides a bike too, when, on the odd occasion, we get out for a ride, he tells me not to push so hard, his words of wisdom, which I treasure, "take it easy on yourself, like a vintage car, you don't rev the crap out of the engine and expect it to last the distance". I'm slowly beginning to heed the warnings, but it's very difficult, especially when you're feeling great, the sun is shining and the air is cool.
Be positive and above all else have lots of fun.

Must be old age, can't even get the bloody team name right. It's bridgewood Castle.
Sun's out today, got to cycle!

I hope all of you are going well.

Oh man I need to get my bike out! Just don't get the time yet.

[EoinC]
