Its killing me not to be able to ride, but I think I'll take the opportunity to try to get a couple of friends into riding. They'd like to ride but were always intimidated by my miles. If we started doing a few miles every week and build up gradually, I think they'll be ready for some longer distances when I'm finally ready for them myself.
