    Oh no Murialex! I am so sorry to hear this. After you have trained and raised all that money. Nothing is going to take away your disappointment. I only hope that you heal soon and get another chance to do the charity ride next year. Come and vent as much as you like, we will always listen.

    That stink! But, I assume your money will still go to the cause. Your training will help you heal faster.
    But, I know it still feels awful.

    So sorry- hope you heal quickly and venting here is good for the soul (: Those who are not addicted to biking (running, swimming etc...) don't understand.....

    Oh, what a shame. I'm so sorry. I hope you heal quickly and fully.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Oh, that stinks. Heal up quick and come back strong.

    And try a different combination of pain meds - ask for a different script if you've got prescription meds.

    That really is rotten luck, I'm so sorry. You are still part of that team, you've earned it, so try to celebrate their ride even as you mourn the loss of your opportunity (and it is a kind of mourning). Then find another ride to to plan for as soon as possible!

    Oh, that is just a bummer!
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Thanks guys. I'll get over it, though I forgot how impossible trying to get anything done on crutches is. Oh well. Thanks for helping me remember the good part, muirenn.
