Wow, Starfish - I just saw this. You're entitled to you low point, given what's be going on. Don't worry about goals for a month and just have fun riding your bike when you are able to do so. There'll always be time for goals.

But if you can use your bike as a diversion from what's going on and the stress then by all means do so!

Big hug to you.

That Shasta Summit thing sounds great. I have a friend who was trying to talk me into doing it. I had another ride planned for that day so not sure if it can work. Never say never, though!
