Sundial,

Ah, I can almost hear the disappointment in your post. Sorry that it's been a bummer of a month for you.

Last year's August for me was a huge disappointment. I got a whopping 42 miles in for the whole freaking month and had to stop riding due to ongoing issues with my neck & shoulder. I even had to bail on an organized ride I'd signed up and paid for. Didn't start riding until the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Sometimes you just need to take a break. You'll probably come back stronger than ever!
