Hi Jason - thanks. Theres not much you can say or do in these
situations. This is relatively new to me. Elderly relatives has been
as far as its gone in my 30 years, not fit,strong healthy good
friends in their prime of life. Time is a great healer and life is
for the living as they say. Cant imagine how his wife is feeling, 2
young children and christmas round the corner. Maybe God had need for
someone fit and strong to help him up there, who knows. I have a lot
to thank the guy for, without him and one or two others, i wouldnt be
the cyclist i am now.
I am one for taking EVERYTHING to the extremes, unfortunately, that
also includes my emotions.

cheers Jase
