Don't scratch until you know full well that you can't recover. Find a pharmacy and get some soar muscle creams, try some hot and cold rubs, rub that stuff in, get an ice pack, stay still and chill out. Give yourself 24 hours if you have to. Book two nights in a hotel and nurse that shit. Then get on the bike and decide. Needing 24 hours to recover enough to ride again and then soldiering on might go down much better with the feels after its all done and dusted.

I'm at the bottom of the CP3 parcours. My neck hasn't been great for the last few days but now, it's gotten to the stage where I can no longer look up properly and am a danger to myself and other road users. Haven't been able to get onto the drops or extensions for the last few days either. Have found myself wobbling onto the verge and into the middle of the road a few times. I'm gutted as everything else is OK. Going to have a rest here, head up with my head down to the checkpoint after a rest to scratch. Feel like a massive failure.
