Sounds like your immune system took a battering whilst rolling 95 miles fixed my friend, and the poor recovery programme has kept you "in the red".
I'm not sure (personally) what to suggest about tomorrow, because i know only too well how the concept of a good ride will 'override' intelligent thinking.
However, try this. Its often a good way to test the waters....
Head out for a slow ride this evening for about 20mins? Get a hill involved, and throughout, make note of how your body responds.
If your heart rate raises rapidly, early on, and your legs feel like they are flooded with lactate - I would say that you need to spend a day in bed with some anti oxidants. These are just two little indicators that your body is struggling to maintain your activity requirements, whilst fighting off a possible viral illness (in very, very basic terms).
I really hope that makes sense?
