Excerpts:

"Our hearts are with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords today as she struggles to recover from the brutal attack this weekend. By now you must have heard about Saturday’s shocking massacre in a Tucson supermarket parking lot, leaving six dead and 13 wounded. Among the wounded is the Tucson area Congresswoman, shot point-blank in the head and now fighting for her life.

Giffords is a member of the Blue Dog coalition, the conservative wing of the Democratic party. She’s also a regular cyclist and has taken some important actions for transit and against car-centric policy.

I have been looking to buy a Specialized Roubaix Elite SL2 Apex Compact. Does anybody have any experience with. I've tested it and liked it but just looking for some other opinions.

Something to think about or at least read during the next snow day.

Hello all,

I'm going on a bike trip at the end of January and need to bring my road bike on the plane with me. Does anyone have a bike case I can borrow for a week or so? If so, it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!
Alec

Advanced trainer that allows you to ride "virtual routes", showing video of the route and adjusting the resistance of the trainer based on whether you're going uphill/downhill. Routes included are the Etape route of Limoges and the World Road Championship course at Verona.

Lightly used (probably about 50 virtual "miles) trainer that I'm selling. Great condition without any problems. I'm simply selling because I realized that I ride outside most of the winter and don't use it. Haven't used it at all this year. Email me if you're interested or if you want to see photos. (I don't know how to post pics here.)

All pieces for the trainer are included, including the control panel, cables, software, etc.

Maybe they'll develop a cycling version

I bought and enjoyed "Chasing Legends." Not being one to collect stuff or watch things more than once, I'm donating the DVD to the club at large. Unless someone thinks of a better mechanism, anyone who wants this can email me [email protected]. I'll send it to you or you can pick it up if you're nearby. When you're done with it you can post that it's available and send it off to another interested club member.

sorry i have no motivation to cross the bridge today. doing laps in cp after the race clears out around 9:30-10.

if anyone wants to meet me at engineer's gate, let me know.

CP laps? Over the bridge to brooklyn for Prospect Park laps and coffee? Either way, the bikes are going to get yucky.
