Welcome to the Tue, 05/30/2013 – 06:00 edition of Off Topic! You are looking at the next step in the evolution of VCN, the Off-Topic page. Have you ever been frustrated because you had a burning desire to call someone a sandbagger and could only hope to be timely by posting your comment to a photo gallery page or on a page describing a charity ride?
Well, your prayers have been answered! You can post your comment from the home page and it magically comes to rest here with the other orphans from the land of Misfit Comments. The page gets refreshed every day, but not to worry! Each day’s page will be archived and treasured, so you can look back on past pages with pride, shame or disgust-depending on how the day’s conversation went. So post away! We’ve got an internet to fill up.
NYVeloCitizens:
Cycling brother/friend/teammate Dennis McGorty was involved in a serious accident. He is thankfully alive, recovering and in good spirits. He did, however, suffer a major spinal injury and is now paralyzed from the waist down.
I know many of you don’t know him. But this could’ve been you, me, or anyone we know and love.
The NYC cycling community always steps up. I’m reaching out to ask for your help. I’d sincerely appreciate any assistance. Donate any amount. Really. Please.
Pass this on to anyone that may chip in, any cycling club you know, any website that can help.
Information at the links below. Thank you & stay safe.
