I am usually in good mental spirits, but once in a while I give in to a bout of depression. It is so difficult from going from doing a glorious 1000 miles a month on the roads to the tedium of daily 70 minute training rides in my garage staring down at the ever increasing pool of perspiration. Also, a non-healing C1 fracture is incredibly rare, but I guess when you get over 65, great health notwithstanding, things sometimes don't quite go as they used to. Anyway, I appreciate the encouraging words!
