    You should be fine- my donation sessions are usually always on a Friday and don’t imnpact on rides on Saturday or Sunday-I just avoid going out on the Friday evening. Still useful excuse to have if you get dropped though!

    Q: How long will it take to replenish the pint?

    A: Blood volume is replaced within 24 hours. Red cells need about 4 to 8 weeks for complete replacement. You need to wait 56 days or 8 weeks to donate again.

    Q: How will I feel after donation?

    A: Most people feel great! Donors who know what to expect and have eaten regular meals before donating are usually fine. After donating, drink extra fluids for the next 24 hours.

    Q: How soon after donating can I get back to my regular routine?

    A: Right away. Just avoid lifting, pushing or picking up heavy objects for about 4 or 5 hours after giving blood.

    Your body should have fully recovered by Sunday. If you look up online how long it takes to restore the pint of blood, I’m pretty sure its just a couple of days and you should have no adverse effects.

    If it was tomorrow you were doing the ride, I would be wary, but its 5 days after your donation, you should be fine
