Looking for cycling companions for a short trip in Nova Scotia. Starting Aug 9 for 4-5 days.

should I be worried? do I need to do anything? the chip is tiny, maybe 2 square milimeters but I can see the "honeycomb" of the carbon composite. Am I totally overreacting?

Armstrong's argument rests on prevalence. It would be foolish for him to suggest that he would not be the strongest cyclist if none of the 186 cyclists he rode with used doping. Instead, he is arguing that the odds would be impossibly stacked against him if he were to compete against others without using the same performance enhancers they had

I am planning on doing this ride in three weeks.  If anybody is interested the group I am riding with had four people dropout and has 4 wristbands and support available.  If you are interested please post with contact information. Obviously it is kind of late to make those kinds of plans and commitment but if someone can it a great ride.

Can anyone recommend a good mini-pump?  Something that has a little stub that flips out so that I can hold it with my toe while I'm pumping along with a short bit of tubing, as opposed to the mini-pumps which attach directly to the wheel and require awkward one-handed pumping while holding the other end with the other hand.  Also a gauge would be nice.

I'm not looking for the lightest mini-pump, but reasonably light is nice.  Presta valve, although some method of adapting to schrader would be handy.  Also I don't want something cheap that will break after a year - I'd like this pump to last a long time.

Sorry, but I need to cancel this week.

Will repost for next week.

Looking for a bike fit shop. Any recommendations?

Is anyone in the club experienced in cyclocross racing?  Are the options around NYC very limited?  A video I saw on YouTube was on Staten Island and showed very little running?  I would like try a local race, but need info on what kind of bike I might use, as I don’t think my road bike is appropriate.  What kind of shoes?  I would favor a race that had more real running, than just hopping up a few steps.
