Sorry to hear about the attack! I remember how strong and fast you are on that vision!<br>
Take it slow you'll get your legs back! I remember way back I stopped riding for a year or two.I lived in Rockland at the time. On my first get back in shape ride I bonked also on the <b>first hill</b>! I remember getting faint and things going dark!<br>
There I was sitting on the side of the road in dis-belief ! <br>
<br>
Well of course I swore that will never happen again,that one of the reasons I won't get off my bike no matter what!<br>
<br>
Stay well<br>
Shelly<br>

<font size="3">Hi all,<br>
<br>
I intend to ride as a front-line marshal once again. I missed it last
year because I suffered a mild heart attack. The weather was crappy
anyway, so I don't feel so bad.<br>
<br>
The bummer is that they're not having the pre-ride for marshals this year
-- city budget problems are the apparent culprit. As you probably know,
we'd ride the whole 42+ miles the Sunday before, and this took place
every year that I was a marshal. In fact, some people would ride the
pre-ride and not bother to show up the subsequent Sunday. The pre-rides
were almost the best part of doing the ride.<br>
<br>
I'm rather glad that I had suffered the heart attack when I did, last
April 16. If my coronary event had waited to occur and if I HAD gone on
the pre-ride on April 26, which was an unseasonably warm (hot?) Sunday,
then I fear what might have happened chugging up that first Central Park
hill or the 59th St Bridge or the VZ. <br>
<br>
I'm fine now, but with the crappy weather we've been having, I haven't
been out all that much and find it a bit difficult getting my biker's
legs back this year. In fact, I bonked leaving Long Beach going north,
facing a very stiff head wind the first ride of the season.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I hope to see yuz all on May 2.<br>
<br>
