Hoping for your full and quick recovery, we can't have our leader falling by the wayside so early in the year.
What advice have you had about getting back to normal? There's some alarming advice in the current Cycling UK magazine that suggests a minimum of a month recovery even after a mild infection.
Thanks for the good wishes I had very mild symptoms bad cold etc but with attached aching legs . I had 2 days off completely then being turning my legs over on Zwift ,what was easy is now harder but I am on the road recovery ,Full recovery may be a longer road but I can't foresee any issues getting a 50km in

...and I'm out 
. Covid and a family holiday meant I've fallen at the 3rd hurdle. It's been a dreadful year for my riding ambitions so far, but it will get better from April. I'll keep trying to get a minimum of one 50km ride in every month so that I don't forget how to ride 
. Big thanks to @13 rider for running the challenge and good luck to the rest of you!

If you want some motivation you can carry on posting 50km rides each month if you want to...and I'm out

Sorry to hear that Sir. I tripped up over an illness bout a year or so ago which meant I flunked the challenge. I did manage to get back on the bike after a bit though and carried on posting rides. When you can, you'll get some satisfaction from the riding achievement, challenge or no. Best wishes....and I'm out
My banker ride for April is in the bag . My first ride outdoor for 12 days due to Covid isolation. I didn't suffer badly with it but it has left my legs feeling leaden and I'm constantly tired . So I set out this morning on my standard Wymeswold loop which has plenty of bail out points . But once I got going the legs were aching but I could turn the pedals and made it all the way round without killing myself and was quicker than the last time I did the loop !. 2 minutes over the 2 hr mark . But my legs ache now

2 April : 50k ride done, in fact 53k just to be sure. It is cold and grey but it didn't rain.
Not as fast as your ride @13rider

Yes but yours has twice the elevation as mine so not to shabby

2nd of April, and I've managed to put a ride together. 53 klicks around the wilds of Worcestershire, up and down a selection of Lenches (there's plenty to choose from).

I've been thinking where to ride tomorrow, I haven't been that way for a while, so might give it a go.

A knee injury, some family issues to deal with and, final straw, a bout of Covid each means we are out of this too.
This March was probably our lowest monthly total cycling mileage for ten years!
