Fat Lad Could Be Unwell

The above picture is just to prove (mostly to myself I think) that the sun does indeed come out to play every now and again.

Anyways, I think I'm not right. Whenever the sun is shining and I'm stuck indoors I get ill. According to wikipedia:

The most common symptoms of SAD include extreme fatigue, oversleeping, not being able to get out of bed, overeating, carbohydrate cravings and weight gain. It can also be accompanied by the regular symptoms of depression, such as low mood, loss of interest in activities and trouble concentrating.

Blimey I tick all those boxes all year round. I find the only cure for this weather related malaise is to get out and ride. I wonder if I have inverse SAD. Maybe it's a whole new affliction. They could name it after me. FatLadMiserableGit Syndrome. I could be famous at last. Pictures of me in all good medical text books. Probably in some more graphically bad ones too.

I'm going to self medicate tonight with some swoopy singletrack descents, ball busting climbs and the company of honest decent riding buddies. I reckon, together, we can get through it.
