Having sat everyday for more than a month in the ICU, hoping that my wife was going to live and recover from her bicycle accident, I would remind everyone that there are enough risks out there without engaging in the kind of foolish behavior that's been discussed here. Maybe when you're a pro and they're paying you a million dollars a year but this is supposed to be fun. 
I would also note that Zia Velo to much of the community is the face of bicycling in Las Cruces. Your behavior and frankly, your recklessness reflects on all of us who cycle and simply gives ammunition to those who do not like bicyclists to begin with. We were fortunate last year in getting legislation passed that was favored of cyclists. It's only going to take a couple of instances of recklessness like this before someone is going to be moving to repeal that legislation. And frankly, if it happens you have no one to blame but yourself. 
So enjoy the bicycling don't be foolish, don't be reckless and don't be a bad

Stop sign are yied signs….
 
Shane Cunico <cu...@live.com>: Apr 11 10:21PM

Just for clarity, the new, New Mexico law mimics the Idaho laws that allow cyclists to treat Stop signs as yielding signs, and stop lights as stop signs.
 
Most motorists and many cyclists are not aware if these changes that took effect months ago. Just be super careful.

Barry, uncle Tom loves you too. The folks who run stop signs make all riders with a ZV jersey look like jerks. Not a good public image for the club.

Subject: Re: Heater Ride Risk
 
Barry,
thank you for bringing up this important reminder of safety. Even though it is not a 'race' it is easy to fall into a race mode without remembering the lack of safety we need to maintain. I know I have been guilty of messing up the safety expectations and will work to emphasize more clarity in participant safety.
 
We did a MUCH better job of warning each other with the traffic from behind and upfront this past heater. This improvement in safety with traffic proves we can do a better job at corners and stop signs.
 
Thanks for caring about each other.
David

Stop signs used to be somewhat neutral, for safety, after Blickem almost got pasted years ago.
We need to get back to a safe route through all stop signs and not use it to "get off the front" to inflict damage.
We could hire traffic cops at each turn so all of us can hammer the turns, go back to the frontage road with no stop signs (Tucson Shoot Out style) or just slow down at said stop signs for the up-tempo group ride that it is, through the much prettier and cooler valley.

David Neal <manfr...@gmail.com>: Apr 11 04:25PM -0600

In the yielding to stop sign that is IF no ONE is coming . IF a car is
there with you from the opposite direction. Then yes I would STOP .. 3,000
lbs versus 159-250 lbs the larger vehicle will do damage to you…

Jerry Garcia <jgtr...@gmail.com>: Apr 11 04:30PM -0600

Pretty comical coming from someone who would constantly cross the yellow
line in several instances even after being told not to by several riders
including myself.
 
Jerry
 
David Neal <manfr...@gmail.com>: Apr 11 04:36PM -0600

Pretty funny you or anyone never told me to my face … soooo… whatever…but
I have seen plenty of zvers going out to airport and beyond cross to the
opposite of the road on a regular basis… .. I’m not the one who has nearly
been hit.. not even close but according to these reports several ZVers
have violated those rules on a regular basis… have a good one…
 
David Neal
 
 
Jerry Garcia <jgtr...@gmail.com>: Apr 11 04:39PM -0600

Not only did I say it to your face, but I actually put my hand on your
shoulder and explain nicely to you that I would hate to see you get hit by
a car and that you were putting the rest of the group in danger. And this
was coming down Picacho at high rate of speed. N even after I explained
that to you, you still disobeyed the rules of the road and crossed the line.

Tamatha Risner <risner...@gmail.com>: Apr 11 04:47PM -0600

Actually I’ve had to tell you on more than one occasion to NOT ride on the
left lane of the double laned highway coming down from the airport and yes,
it was to your face. A few others have also had to say something to you and
yes cars were coming from behind at over 55mph. Regardless to cars coming
from behind, NO ONE SHOULD EVER BE IN THE LEFT LANE OF A DOUBLE LANED ROAD
OR HIGHWAY or riding in the middle of the road rather than shoulder when
the shoulder allows.
 
Point is, WE CAN ALL DO BETTER. We should ALWAYS yield to cars regardless
to laws now allowing us to roll through stop signs. We should also always
be calling out vehicles. The heater nor any other ride/race is worth
someone getting hurt or killed. When you’ve seen what we’ve seen, you’d
understand.
 
David Neal <manfr...@gmail.com>: Apr 11 05:04PM -0600

And of course i DO REMEMBER that shouting match from you… ( one
sided)thanks for refreshing my memory…but you were not at the incident
point but viewing from a Distance from BEHIND and could not see I had to
MISS another cyclist who had darted to the left of the road for no reason
and I had to make a quick action to keep from hitting him.. That
SAME CYCLIST also on another occasion slowed to 5 mph and made a U turn
right in front of me and had to miss him. ( yes I know his name but am not
classless enough to attempt to embarrass him)…your anger at me is
DISPLACED. But again the same problem EXISTS NOW and you Do NOT have me to
blame… huh wonder why that is? oh yeah several other zvers are still the
problem ..

Not even worth arguing the matter anymore…
 
Again, WE CAN ALL DO BETTER! I own the bad decisions I’ve made on the bike,
in which I’ve made plenty. And I’ve had to apologize for some of those bad
decisions. WE’VE ALL MADE THEM! I pray every time I get on the bike to keep
everyone safe and free from harm or having to witness anyone harmed and
continue to do so even if you’re not my friend.
 
 
 
 
David Neal <manfr...@gmail.com>: Apr 11 05:32PM -0600

And again I am sure you have not noticed but I HAVE NOT ridden with ZV for
a very long time now.. . Why ? Because of the dangerous ACTIONS by some
zvers … YES you are correct…I also pray that no one gets hurt and I will
own up to my bad decisions when they happen.. my intent is to see ALL
CYCLISTS including zvers to BE SAFE … but what happens ? I get
attacked Just for wanting to SEE ALL CYCLISTS safe.. these dangerous
actions done reflects on ALL CYCLISTS not just zvers… a motorist does
not know or care from what cycling club we are from .. they just know oh
it’s another cyclist doing dangerous things… ZV,B&C or anyone riding by
themselves are AFFECTED..

Here is another rider’s Comments who emailed me and refuses to ride with
ZV .. how about Laura Burkett? If memory serves me, she was hurt during a
Heater ride about 1-2 years ago.. why hasn’t she come back to the group
?…I say this to get ALL OF YOU to realize some serious correction in
attitude is warranted .. I DO RESENT being screamed at from an ill
tempered banshee cursing and swearing at me from 15-30 feet away when she
did not bother to gather any facts but assuming she is correct in what she
thought she saw and i explained in detail earlier what happened .. I do
remember frank Moreno tapping me on the shoulder and commenting but frankly
i do not remember Mr. Garcia doing this at all….however just because Mr
Garcia ms Eisner or frank thinks I did something wrong DOES NOT MAKE IT
TRUE until ALLTHE FACTS have been explored ..
But as usual it makes no difference..I am so afraid if you do not correct
it someone will get seriously hurt or worse .. I hope the group will heed
the warnings…

Here is another rider's Comments who emailed me and refuses to ride with ZV .. how about Laura Burkett? If memory serves me, she was hurt during a Heater ride about 1-2 years ago.. why hasn't she come back to the group ?…I say this to get ALL OF YOU to realize some serious correction in attitude is warranted .. I DO RESENT being screamed at from an ill tempered banshee cursing and swearing at me from 15-30 feet away when she did not bother to gather any facts but assuming she is correct in what she thought she saw and i explained in detail earlier what happened .. I do remember frank Moreno tapping me on the shoulder and commenting but frankly i do not remember Mr. Garcia doing this at all….however just because Mr Garcia ms Eisner or frank thinks I did something wrong DOES NOT MAKE IT TRUE until ALLTHE FACTS have been explored ..
 
But as usual it makes no difference..I am so afraid if you do not correct it someone will get seriously hurt or worse .. I hope the group will heed the warnings…
 
Here is that email from another rider:

David,
 
I raced in Dallas for 5 years beginning in the early 70's. What turned me off to the Zia group were the exalted egos. Most especially the head of the club. Found it a real turn off.

I do hope the Velo group/heater ride will come to a realization that this group will be affecting EVERY cyclist in the Mesilla area IF indeed dangerous actions have been taking place. All it will take is a motorist or two calling in to the proper law enforcement agency to complain about cyclists being dangerous.. that will trigger a crackdown on all cyclists not just this group… as I say I DO NOT know if this is actually happening and only responding to whst has been written.. have fun train hard and be safe …

If Dale Earnhardt was alive to witness this conversation about going slow and not turning left (on stop signs) he'd be very disappointed in us

Agreed Barry. I use the heater for my intervals knowing that I will not win anything. I would appreciate a return to a start of high speed riding after crossing the highway on snow going out as well as at at the junction where we re-enter the highway. I also would not mind a pause where we turn onto the cross road that goes over the river into San Miguel as well.

Yesterday's heater was fast and fun but dangerous.
 
We are taking huge risks by blowing through stop signs at speed then accelerating to get off the front. Stop signs are the issue - University and Snow Road at the beginning and again at the last turn onto Hwy 28. Luckily that car slowed down on 28.
 
Stop signs used to be somewhat neutral, for safety, after Blickem almost got pasted years ago.
 
We need to get back to a safe route through all stop signs and not use it to "get off the front" to inflict damage.
 
We could hire traffic cops at each turn so all of us can hammer the turns, go back to the frontage road with no stop signs (Tucson Shoot Out style) or just slow down at said stop signs for the up-tempo group ride that it is, through the much prettier and cooler valley.
