Just got back from one of the worst rides I've had in years. I know any ride is better than none, but I seriously beat myself up today. Bonked badly on the climb, but didn't realize it until I was at the farthest and most difficult point to get back to the car. I had a few good falls, including a head-on with a tree and an otb into rocks. Not to mention a few slides before I realized my stem twisted in the tree crash.
I'm always positive on a ride, but I think I'm going to take a few days off and just jog or climb. Pretty sore right now... And off to the pool so I can use chlorine to get all of the poison oak off and to scrub my open wounds.

I hear you on that. I've felt the same a few times, take a couple weeks off the bike and the first rides back are usually some of the best rides I can recall.
