Emily, you have my condolences on the loss of your father. The pain of losing parents is a very difficult emotion to cope with. Those are special bonds of the longest standing relationships for us. Time does heal the wound and time will heal yours, too.

As for cycling, I agree with Veronica and the other ladies. We can get the guys get us down, we take risks every day, etc.

Our days are numbered anyway, so make the most of them and live fearlessly.
