I apologize if the tone of my earlier post suggested that I feel superior to anyone because I like to push myself to ride hard. If you prefer to ride at 12mph or 18mph or 20mph, good for you. I'm glad you're out riding your bike.

Idea for a ride series - Post-Sandy Party
I had what I thought would be a really fun idea for a ride series this summer. Unfortunately, my focus this year has shifted and I'm not gunning for my jersey, so I'm not putting together these leads. However, I'm hoping that a ride leader or group of leaders (hey Siggies!!) would like to take this up.
Basically, the idea is to help the ongoing recovery of communities hardest hit by Sandy by riding out and patronizing their businesses. Wait, what was that? You mean, I can do good, help out others, and spread the wealth by buying ice cream and hot dogs on the boardwalk?! You mean, I should go to the beach?! Really, doesn't this sound like a very pleasurable way to speed the recovery of these places who are hanging on by their fingernails?

Are you doing the ride to Montauk?
Hi guys,
I am doing the ride to Montauk on June 1st (the 152 miles) and would love to have some sort of paceline situation happening to make the ride less painful and more sociable. Are you an A rider? did you sign up for Montauk? Would love to connect and ride...
Bike Quiz Question #2: Who was the first American to win the Giro d'Italia
The Giro d'Italia is taking place now.
Who was the first American to win it? (It's not who you think.)
Answer in three days.
Pains in the Neck
No really, I mean it.
I have been experiencing quite sharp pains in my neck, mostly on the left side, together with reduced ability to turn my head either way, e.g., to check on riders to my rear. I'm pretty sure that this must be from cycling, especially during and since the SIG.
Other discomforts, like pains in my hands from holding the handlebars, go away promptly following rides, but this seems to have become a regular part of my life.
Can anybody recommend stretches or exercises for this condition?
Many thanks, Jim
