Probably not. It's your immune system dealing with the aftermath of the virus. Think of it as a clean-up operation.

Exactly. Leave at noon to be in Bakersfield by 8 in the morning. 55mph speed limit, and I-70 didn't go all the way through to I-15. Good thing we installed an 80 gallon "unsafe at any speed" fuel tank that upped our capacity to 120, with the two saddle tanks. I could make it to St. George without stopping.

That system that hit the midwest is coming here and dumping a ton of rain on us the next 2 days. Then temps will plummet.
I am hoping there will be enough time for roads to dry before the temps go below freezing. If not, there will be more weekend basement fake miles in my future.

Crosswalks a mess? Maybe Manhattan was cleaned up, but I was in The Bronx on Monday and I was surprised how messy the intersections were and how much more snow they got than I got.

That sounds like a B tension adjustment. Pedal backward and pull the derailleur down a bit and see if the jumping stops.

Por casualidad, the increments are getting bigger by the day, and I expect to ride a bike within the coming week. The key will be getting it past the naysayers who insist it's too soon. There's an itch building, that will need scratching sooner than later. The first one or two will likely be uptown for supplies. Not much to go wrong there.

I am willing to ride in seasonably cold winter temps (down to maybe 15F) but no effing way I am going to ride with ice risk.

Here's an interesting picture... This is at the Phoenix mile, and we had to do a bit of bodywork bracing because we were going quite a bit faster than expected. The pole position for that race would have started 23rd in the Indy Car race that year.
