Machka,

As another poster pointed out on the previous page, I know you don't know me from a hole in the wall. I followed the link from your "Weekend Ride Reports" thread in Road Cycling (which was a bit of a surprise to see) as I was just thinking about y'all earlier today and hoping things were going well. I'd just like to add my hope and wish for Rowan's speedy recovery as well. This is the phase that is so hard on the caregiver, and it's good to hear that there is support from your coworkers and university. I hope you know that y'all are both sources of inspiration that truly enrich this site and this sport in general.

Best wishes from Louisiana.
