This is in response to Norton’s post.  I had that tickle in my throat last week thanks to my boss who was ill and working in close proximity for two days.  Saturday’s tickle was a bit more, had a late night, made tickle a little worse, Sunday went out with family and the tickle upgraded to soreness and then – the rest followed on Sunday night.  I was laid out yesterday.  Just a bum at home who slept all day long and thankfully it helped the situation.  Lots of tea, lots of sleeping, and tons of water – and I think I’m at about 60%.  I actually do attribute this flu crap for not having ridden consistently (I rarely get sick) the past few weeks – a combo the weather, vacation, family, etc. threw my schedule out of sorts.  I survived every heinous bug my friends and family got in the past three months  - so it was about time the bug decided to take me down, and it took me down hard.  The dirtbikes are being assembled up for training – i’ve been on my Surly all this time, missing my dirtbikes, and they soon shall be completed and ready to start rocking the trails.  April 20th is now around the corner…..
