Sense

[fivemack]

So, since Wednesday I've been coming down with a cold. My nose runs, my throat hurts, assorted muscles gently ache, I run on Strepsils and Lemsip.

Tomorrow I'm signed up to do a forty-mile charity bike ride, up and down assorted hills. There's £80 in sponsorship riding on this; on the other hand, the cost to the NHS of treating me for bronchitis, pneumonia et al might much exceed that.

I've been resting at length to recover from bronchitis--if you can avoid it by not going cycling tomorrow, that's definitely a net win.

I don't know what the charity is, or who's sponsoring you, but I suspect some of them would still be willing to donate if you explained why you hadn't ridden.
