Are these a good idea?
its a nice and sunny day and I want to ride outside but my legs are shot from doing over/ unders. Will this ruin my recovery?
Depends on intensity and duration of your ride. Keep it 1 hour or less and around 50% of FTP or lower, and it can be a good recovery ride.
Also, consider what is on your schedule for tomorrow. If it’s a hard workout make sure to keep it easy.
If it’s not hard, you might get away with more today.

A sunny day is a terrible thing to waste.
Go ride bikes, figure the rest out later

I’d keep it easy and head for the outdoors. Just being outdoors can be beneficial in itself.
Are you driving a car? That’s what many drivers seem to have as an objective around here.

I think he’s saying reaching his objective?
I know. Just kidding. Not a lot of oxygen left in my brain after this morning’s session.

I bet you say that to all of your competitors. 
To the OP:. How about a skills session?
Def ride outside. Able to breathe through your nose the entire time.
If I do NOT do something like that my legs suffer. Though I am learning how to get same effect swimming (dang falling into the Xterra racing).
