Oh so sorry to hear that! Don't let any demons keep you from doing it if you want to do it, whether they be in your head or on the outside. I know you know this...you control your reaction (including those in your head). Recover physically and the mental focus will come. You family and friends are probably saying it because they love you and/or care about you, but maybe they aren't making the connection that the Avocet that they love loves to ride her bikes and that if she doesn't, she's not the person they love.

So just maybe when you are ready to start riding again, I'll be ready too and we can just walk anything mildly technical and cheer each other on.
