    I don't have any advice for you but just wanted to add my sympathy and support. Hang in there.

    someone else just went through this recently.
    She re-outfitted her bike to reflect her new feelings, and it really helped.

    Honestly, if something happened to my DH right now, it would be hard for me to get back on the bike. But I would WANT to because it's a large part of my healthy life style choices.
    Good luck.

    So sorry to hear. Just wanted you to really know you have our support when ever! it may be hard, but just get on and ride. Let your wheels take you to new routs maybe find a new bridge or tree to rest at.

    Same here. Break ups are tough and it hurts like heck when you are in the middle of it. Hang in there. Maybe the bike will keep you moving forward

    (((artifactos))) I know how you're feeling. You were given very good advice over here. I especially liked indysteels point that a break-up will hurt anyway, and you might as well be doing something you know is good for you at the same time. It may not be as therapeutic or soothing right now, but still riding is still going to be good for your body, and over time riding for yourself and your own reasons and your own goals will replace whatever goals you had together. If you don't, riding your bike will stay "his". For it to become "yours", you have to struggle through and accept the pain that comes with associating it with him for the time being.

    Take care.
