Emily, you have my thoughts and prayers on your loss. Take the time you need to heal.

On the cycling front, I've been there. I take lots of precautions and I'm still aware that we're engaging in a dangerous sport. But take heart. Statistically, we run into each other more often than we run into cars.

Seriously, you need to do what is in your heart. Maybe you need a break to re-evaluate your priorities in life. You've been through a lot. You might be receiving signs that a change is in order for you.

Take good care of yourself.
