This is a game started by Jeff Pulver where you write 5 revealing things about yourself and tag/link to 5 other bloggers.Cycle Snack: tagged me so now I continue the game.

  1. I have only been riding mountain bikes for 4 years. I am definitely hooked on biking as it's all I think about. My wife has no interest in it, but she is happy that I have something that makes me happy. I have 2 mountain bikes that I ride seasonally.
  2. I left school early without any qualifications and got a full time job as soon as I was able. I have never been out of work or signed on the dole.
  3. I bought my house and got married 10 years ago. I can go to work and come home to relax or go riding without having or being bothered to do anything around the house, my wife does the lot!
  4. I have nothing to do with my so called family ie: mum, dad, brothers & sisters. As they are selfish and slag each other off. My step dad beat me up as a kid, sending me to school with black eyes while my mum stood by and watched. I spent most of my childhood in and out of children homes for my own protection. But my mother always got a conscience and dragged me back home for more beatings.
  5. I am 36 years old and still listen to Heavy Metal. I love most of the new bands, but still listen to the likes of Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Motley crue, and a lot more.

It's the beginning of December and all I can think of is getting back on the trails again. My full susser has not seen the light of day since the end of October, and I came down with the man flu. Due to the weather being so cold and wet, I have resulted to riding what's referred to as my ratt bike. I use it to commute to and from work, and training rides when I'm not dying!!

Recently I started to feel better and so went out for a leisurely ride. Upon returning home I started to feel like crap again, and my sneezing fits returned.

2 weeks have passed since then and now it's a case of stuffiness, but feel I fine within myself. It's a tough call as to whether or not I should go out and ride though, the urge is so great, it's driving me mad.

A question I have been asking myself every time I come down with the man flu is, how do I avoid colds & flu and continue riding like a pro through the cold season?
