Wooooe, Jo...I always have fears of crashing hard right before a trip or something, but how else can you train to make it through??? I am back in the saddle after a series of small crashes and emotional boundries and I am sending you all my healing energies....

I immediately had a thought when i read your story...you could be your teams personal SAG...or volunteer at the stops and be there to cheer your team on. It would be a shame not to participate when you have spent so much time preparing and training...you can still wear your jersey as a volunteer!!!

(just be sure to wear your sling so everyone knows you have a legit excuse to not riding )

***edit

Looks like CM & I were typing the same thought at the same time...Great minds think alike...hehe
