It was a clear and bright spring morning in central Mississippi. Jan Morgan and her cycling buddy Kim Richardson were riding along the edge of a two-lane highway, training for an upcoming triathlon in Florida. Both wore helmets. It was Sunday and traffic was slow on a rare flat stretch of State Highway 50. That’s when Richardson heard the rumble of an approaching car.

Dear NYCC friends,

The cycling season has begun anew, so it's time for my biannual reminder to visit my site, NYC Car Crash Resources, at http://NycCarAccident.net.

This not-for-profit site details your right to medical care under the NYS No-Fault law if ever struck by a car -- as a cyclist or pedestrian. And it explains the steps needed to obtain it.

These steps include, importantly:

1) Noting the license plate number. (Write it down or ask a passerby to. I recite the numbers out loud over and over until I can write them down.)

We've still got room for more at the cyling camp that's been set up for NYCCer's in Temecula, CA the last week in February. We have a nice group going so far, but the more the merrier. Again, the dates are Feb 23 - 27.

The riding's great and varied enough to accommodate folks of a wide range of abilities and the instruction and clinics are top notch. And the wine's pretty fantastic, too. It's a great way to shake off the winter cobwebs and get in shape for the Spring riding season. (And a great way to prep for the SIG!)

As there has been a drop-off in those wanting to build a bike wheel from scratch, added this year is a component for those who only want to learn how to true their wheels.

Building? Bring a hub, rim (ideally with the same number of holes as the hub), and spokes (one for each hole, preferably the right length--consult me if in doubt); go home 3-ish hours later with a perfectly built wheel you'll have built yourself.

Truing? Bring your wheel, the more deformed the better. Go home 45 mins. later with a perfectly trued wheel you'll have trued.

When: A Saturday or Sunday in January or February, to be decided by the class.

Where: Our Lady of Peace church on East 62nd Street.

Cost: $0.

Registration: Closes Jan. 10
