This sounds pretty good.  It should be warmer (though Jim Spencer is pitting
Saturday's high at 42F), and it will let me get some much needed beauty
sleep!

I can't commit, yet, though, as I may be riding with someone from out of
town.  This would still be a good ride for that, though, assuming we ride
in the afternoon.

Hi, all,
Since the weather holds the promise of crappiness this Saturday, I suggest we
ride the 1 pm ACA ride Sprinkle Sprint. The high on Saturday, according the
Weatherunderground, will be 50. I imagine it will be on the cool of 50
nonetheless.

I'm open to other rides as well. The key is that my butt needs to be on the
saddle Saturday.

Comments? Suggestions?

Best,
Robert

Hi, all,
I'm planning a trip toe West Texas the week of 2/12/07. I'm staying 2 nights
at the lodge in the Basin at Big Bend. Then I'm doing 2 to 3 nights in Marfa.
I plan to do a lot of riding in preparation for Hammerfest. My room in Big
Bend has 2 double beds in case anyone's interested.

Speaking of Hammerfest, I managed to snag a room at the Limpia Inn in Ft
Davis for Hammerfest. Snag yours if you're going.
Best,
Robert

I'm not sure if he's on this list, or if he's paid his Velocity dues
yet this year,
but I heard that Lance A. was involved in the project, and there was some talk
of a Lance A. museum to be associated with it.

Daniel

First, thank you for renovating the website. You've made a significant
difference in a short while.

Second, thank you for attending the race officials clinic with Bob Pillmore.
We will all look to you and Bob for guidance in developing our time
trial/hill climb.

You guys are the greatest!!

John

I've put the ACA rides that Velocity members are Ride Starters for,
through March.
I just recognized Stanton, Daniel, and myself.  If I missed your
rides, let me know
and I'll add them.

Frank

Hi, all,

Thanks Daniel for doing all the work with the website and the blog! I have
actually posted to my blog and the new Velocity blog: The Presidential
Briefing.

Daniel, I'm very excited about all the great energy you are bringing to the
club!

Thanks again!

Best,
Robert

Unfortunately, Feb 17th is the date of the Terlingua Race in the Davis
Mountains.

What is the location of the clinic?  Seems like a race clinic might have
some good info if we're going to do a time trial n the near future.

Incidentally, I understand that the UT Cyclng club is talking about
sponsoring a time trial/hill climb up Big View. Does anyone have any info on
that???

I've restored the Velocity website: http://www.VelocityCycling.org/

It could still stand a bit of work, so I'm happy to accept the work of any volunteer who wants to spiff it up even more.  My aim is to have something up that's accurate, current, that requires very little maintenance and what maintenance there is be shared among anyone who's willing to work on it.  (I'm happy to guide anyone who wants to learn anything about it.)

There's also this page:

   http://start.velocitycycling.org/

It works differently from the rest of the website.  I think it has some cool stuff on it, but you'll have to ignore the "Sign In" prompt.   I should probably link the page in to the main site, but I can't remove that prompt and I'm afraid if I link the page in to the main site I'll have to field too many requests on how to sign in.  Simply put, you can't sign in unless you're a site admin.  You can, however, create a page like that yourself here (requires free Google registration):

Subject: [velocity-cycling] What I had was "supraventrical tachycardia"

As some of you may know, I was hospitalized for a day and a half due to a
series of fainting spells just before Christmas. Various heart tests proved
inconclusive, so I was referred to a cardiologist specializing in heart
rthym disturbances. 24 hours of heart monitoring proved inconclusive, but
there was some indication that heart rthym issues were the culprit. To try
to capture one of these disturbances, I was given a "event" heart monitor
to wear for month.

Three days later, driving home from a 40-mile road ride on Sunday (ACA San
Saba Loops), my heart rate began to fluctuate from 60 bpm to around 150 or
160 bpm every 5 or 10 minutes. Maureen and I stopped twice at pay phones on
the way home to transmit data from the event heart monitor to the doctor's
office. By Monday morning, I was scheduled for a heart ablation procedure
this past Thursday at St. Davids, with a diagnosis of exercise induced
supraventricular tachycardia. Technical explanation of ablation procedure
below. The procedure took about 3 hours under general anesthsia, but it is
an outpatient procedure so I was at home that night.

Apparently, I'm repaired; the doctor cleared me to ride as much as I wanted
this weekend as long as the insertion points for the electrodes weren't too
painful (5 insertion points in the groin area -- don't think about it). I
have to wear the event monitor for two more weeks, to make sure all is well.
This Saturday, Maureen and I did trailwork in the morning followed by a
brief mountain bike ride in the afternoon with no problems.

"A physician guides a catheter with an electrode at its tip to the area of
heart muscle where there's an accessory (extra) pathway. The catheter is
guided with real-time, moving X-rays (fluoroscopy) displayed on a video
screen. The procedure helps the doctor place the catheter at the exact site
inside the heart where cells give off the electrical signals that stimulate
the abnormal heart rhythm. Then a mild, painless radiofrequency energy
(similar to microwave heat) is transmitted to the pathway. This destroys
carefully selected heart muscle cells in a very small area (about 1/5 of an
inch). That stops the area from conducting the extra impulses that caused
the rapid heartbeats."

Glad to hear that you're fixed up, John.

John,

I never know whether or not to put my tongue in my cheek. But can't have had
heart surgery yesterday and be emailing today.

Quick recovery!

Yahoo! Groups Mail Delivery Issues, January 25

Due to a database-related issue earlier today, we are experiencing a Groups email backlog. Delivery of messages posted between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. (Pacific time) today, January 25, may be delayed several hours.

Messages posted now are being processed through our backup mail servers, so they will be delivered immediately. While our primary servers catch up, Groups users may see messages that were posted earlier today delivered out of order.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause you and your group members.

The Yahoo! Groups Team

UPDATE: Due to the large volume of backlogged messages, many groups are still experiencing delays in delivery. We are monitoring the situation and will keep you updated.

UPDATE January 26 5:55 p.m. Pacific time: We will continue to work on this issue until it is resolved. All Groups messages will eventually be delivered, but due to the server backup users may see messages out of order.

Well, I'm a little uncertain about my racing this spring. I just had heart
surgery yestereday and won't be able to ride for a day or two.

OK, I'm waffleing because it's cold.

But the part about heart surgery is true. Really! I mean it!!

I'll put it into the form of a ride report.  In a day or so.

John
