I was advised to go swimming the following day, then again a few days later. For me this really loosened up the joints again and helped me feel fresh. The sheer tiredness hit me on the Tuesday following the Friday night/Saturday ride, fortunately I had booked the day off work. One of the best forms of recovery, especially after a solo event, is to get out for a ride with your mates. The ride will be less strenuous and far more enjoyable than racing, reminding you of the fun that can be had on the bike. Having another goal to aim for a few weeks later will help to ease you back into the training pattern. Keep your blog going – it’s a great read.
