The Bicycles East rides are postponed for this weekend, in its place is the Inaugural Poker Ride. Following the same route as last years Veteran’s Day Ride, starting and finishing in Matthews, NC. The metric century travels through much of scenic Union County. Don’t forget to stop at all the rest stops to pick up a playing card!
Nicole and I will be there on the Cannondale Tandem. It would be nice if another tandem or two would show up also. We would like to draft on occasion instead of having to pull everybody around the route.
Registration 
Remember, all the proceeds from the event will go to the Matthews Help Center and the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center.
Only 18 spaces left as of Thursday midnight.

There are still a few glitches that have to be worked out after the move, but it looks like it is coming together nicely. One of the things I would like my readers to check is, if you have already registered as a user please see if you can log-in. There was a little editing that had to be done to the specific table of users and I am not 100% certain that the edits were all correct.
I am sorry I missed the Assault on Morrow Mountain. I hear it was a great ride put on by Jeff Viscount. Congratulations to all that participated.
Hopefully next weekend I will be back at full strength and riding all I can to train for Mt Mitchell and riding with all my friends.
Been told by the doctor ‘no work for two more weeks.’ This is killing me. Next check-up is April 3rd.
Been working on Bike #2. Nothing else to do at the moment. Replacing the fork this weekend, and bars next week.
Been investigating natural ways to lower cholesterol without medication, so far large doses of Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) appear to have the most data and the fewest side effects. Nothing like the Statins on the market now. Will start looking at other supplements soon.
