Okay...sore throat Sat. Night...no other symptoms-couldn't sleep.
Yesterday-felt like crap...could be the Alka Seltzer plus sideaffects.
Today-Working from home, bored to tears, want to ride (indoors)-coughing a good bit no other symptoms...will it hurt to I ride?

Light workout (Zone 1 if you use a HR monitor) should be fine.

I read somewhere recently (as I was laid up with cold / sinus infection) that light exercise actually stimulates your immune system.

That is all I wanted to hear.....still never made it to the gym.

According to the "Medical Guide for Cyclists" the rule when riding with colds is the "above the neck" rule. If the cold is above the neck it is ok to ride easily. When the cold is below the neck, stay off the bike.
