For the first four months of the year that was the position I was in. In January there was absolutely perfect weather. Then I was hit by that car. By the time I recovered from that my brother had pneumonia and I had to attend every day. And then he was having eye surgery and I had to take care of that and then the rain started. Finally I managed to get riding about May and I was then so far out of shape that a 20 miles ride was almost too much for me.

It has only been the last two weeks of July that I am beginning to feel normal.
