Mike, I can really relate to this, as I had similar situation 6 years ago. The quick facts:
\- Start-up tech company fails. Job no longer exists. Misery ensues.
\- Decide to move to Europe for new job. New job just as bad as old job.
\- Blind hope that I can do the "long-distance" thing with girlfriend, which rapidly falls apart.
\- Oh and while I was flying to Europe, my grandfather has a heart attack and dies.
Gooooood times. But I just kept riding, because what else can you do? My touchstone is a trail area in Tuscany, where 6 years ago I was sitting with a cold beer, new bike pals, huddled around a smartphone watching the World Cup Finals after a day of shredding. Life is hard, bikes are easy.
