Exhaustion was so deep yesterday I could barely think, let alone move This can happen, for me, after several days of 'big busy', not just a measly little bike ride to see friends. Although I guess that messing about at the bike workshop for a portion of each day last week must also be counted as it's not 'usual' activity for me...yet.

Even though it was the first proper ride...it counts as a proper ride if I put m'padded cycling undershorts on... over 10miles since getting back in the saddle after injury but I really didn't expect to be so wiped out. Mebbe it was the heat...the hottest day thus far this year for us (late 20s C in shade). Mebbe it was all the above factors.

Yesterday a short walk to and from town was as good as it got, which was followed by hitting m'bed by 6pm and being asleep before it was dark.

Still suffering from a total lack of energy today, two days later. Does anyone else get this totally debilitating tiredness? Does anyone know what causes it?

Ha! I like your definition of a 'proper ride'.
