I also can relate. I mentally and physically feel my best when I am riding. It was very fustrating when I fractured my shoulder two years ago.

Right now it is everyday life that keeps me from riding as much as I like. I hope to change that a bit next year. I envey all you out west people that you don't really have an off season like us NE'ers. However, I get on my trainer which might begin next week for weekday rides. I consider it a consolation and something is better than nothing.

Veronica, I hope you knee feels even better than yesterday.
