Hi BC68

I'm really sorry to hear about your mom and her nasty fall. And I hope you're holding up ok too. There's a lot of stress and worry when things like that happen.

In situations like that, you're right in that cycling should be about enjoying yourself and the freedom it brings. Does your mom need constant care? Are you able to do little rides like 5-10 miles or so? I think that would be really good for you, which will help you handle the increased responsibility of caring for your mom.

So take care, and don't forget, I'm seeing you in September!
