The natl newspaper of record has been using AP dispatches from the tour.  Juliet Macur who had been covering the Tour for the Times is now writing on drug issues for sports in general in the paper.  (BTW she would make an excellent NYCC meeting speaker).  Draw your own conclusions.

I know when placing my order it said all orders will be fulfilled in July. So, when are they coming, anyone know?

Bicyclists trying to get legally from one side of Central Park to the other have long faced a challenge: because the park’s pedestrian paths are closed to cyclists, they have to either ride the looping vehicular drive south to 60th Street and then head north again, potentially going miles out of their way, or brave the narrow, crowded transverse roads.

Thanks

I just gave up my spot so that you could have it.

It seems to have been claimed.

Need some shoulder work? Me too. That's why I ordered this nice set of resistance bands on Amazon, 2-30 pounds resistance.

Too bad I didn't think about where I'd be able to attach them in my small apartment. Like, nowhere. (Unless I drill a hook into a custom bookcase. Don't think so.) So I'm sticking with low-tech Therabands.

Before I ship these back, if you're in the market, you can have them for what I paid, $28. If interested, please email me within one week.

They can be attached to a door, if you are fortunate enough to have one of those in your dwelling unit.
