I can relate, but I'm happy for you. Once you recover you now have a challenge to look forward to. Each time try to go just ten yards further and now you have a cool goal for the rest of the summer without having to ride 60 or 100 miles. Let us know when you make it to the top without stopping. Or, when you add a larger cog on the rear.
