			<title> Help with route</title>
			<description>I am taking my car to Frank Kent on Chapin Road and 820.  I want to ride to work downtown from there.  Does anyone know the safest route back to the trail or a route towards town?

Thanks!

			<title> Jim Wilson's Star Telegram article</title>
			<description>I wrote a comment about his story, and here's his response:
 
Melanie,
   I read you comments regarding my Opinion/Editorial article published in the Star-Telegram's Monday issue.  Thank you- I'm glad you enjoyed my article.  Additionally, I have been very pleased by the number of positive emails and communications I have had regarding the article from both motorists and bicyclists.
   If this small effort results in just a few (motorists and cyclists) taking a moment to pause and consider prior to heading out on the roadways- I am happy with the result.  If a few more of the motoring public can recognize not only a bicyclist's right on the roadway but also see them as people not just mechanical objects- I'll be thrilled with the outcome.  If we can somehow have more bicyclists take pride in being a positive ambassador for all cyclists while riding safely and lawfully - I believe we'll all be happier.
   Thanks again and thanks for bicycling- every cyclist on the roadway makes motorists more aware which makes it safer for all other cyclists.
   Jim Wilson

Since Benbrook is one of the more pro-active communities favorable to cyclists, I think we should do our best to support this great, public 'ambassador' for the sport.

			<title>Re:  Cyclist makes bus driver REALLY angry.   YIKES !!!!</title>
			<description>No doubt the cyclist must have pulled in front of the bus or something, but the bus driver is obviously a moron.  All he does is go on and on about how frustrated he was and say the cyclist did something really dangerous and never actually tells you what the cyclist did.  There is a picture of a cyclist with his head turned, but you really can't tell what happened or what he did.

			<title> Got room for me? HHH</title>
			<description>Anybody willing to take on a roommate for HHH? Room floor space considered, too.  Gladly pay my share of room cost.

Not too interested in the mass collection of cyclist sleeping on floor...reminds me too much of that famous kool-aid incident.

Let me know.

thanks a bunch!!

			<title> Tour de Cure kudos PLUS thanks to Gail Hacker and husband Ron!</title>
			<description>Congratutions to the Rusty Needles for once more collecting an outstanding amount for Diabetes Research.  And congratulations to FWBA for such full participation!  I did not ride this year, but applaud the cause and its success.

Also many thanks to Gail Hacker and her husband Ron, who led a ride from White Settlement around Lake Weatherford, along Covered Bridge Road and other places I cannot name.  Gail and Ron outdid themselves - each sweeping a route.  THen Ron acted as sag after sweeping the shorter route and rescued some riders with heat exhaustion and at least one rider with major mechanical break down.  They also left a generous amount of water and drinks along the route to help us through the heat.  Somehow it seemed hotter than the Bike's Inc Century.  Some of us limped in rather slowly, glad to be done and glad we weren't doing a longer ride!  Gail especially was counting heads and making sure that everyone made the turns, caught up after missing a turn, and made it home safely.  The end of ride drinks were also appreciated.  Hope I didn't forget anything.  It's wonderful to have a cycling club that supports events like the Tour De Cure and has ride leaders that provide such support and safety!  Thanks again to the leadership of FWBA.
                                                Mary Alice</description>

I did enjoy Jim Wilson's letter published in the Star-Telegram this morning - we need to bombard the paper and public with more information like this!  Perhaps billboards, too?

Drivers on Prescription Drugs Are Hard to Convict
By ABBY GOODNOUGH and KATIE ZEZIMA
Published: July 24, 2010

The accident that killed Kathryn Underdown had all the markings of a drunken-driving case. The car that hit her as she rode her bicycle one May evening in Miller Place, N.Y., did not stop, the police said, until it crashed into another vehicle farther down the road.

The driver could not keep her eyes open during an interview with investigators, according to the complaint against her, and her speech was slow and slurred. But the driver told the police that she had not been drinking; instead, the complaint said, she had taken several prescription medications, including a sedative and a muscle relaxant.

			<title> Tour de Cure</title>
			<description>Kudos to the FWBA today for their volunteer support on the Tour de Cure
ride.   A huge thanks to Jim West and all his hard work in putting it
together and working well into the morning (and probably all day long) along
with Jim Robinson and Keith Townsend on marking the routes and serving as
ride marshals.  No one can put on rest stop like Betty and Aaron King, along
with the many FWBA volunteers out there to help them.  Rest stop # 4
Rocked!!!  It was very well stocked and great to see the friendly faces of
so many of our friends out their volunteering.  I heard LOTS of compliments
on rest stop # 4 as being the best.   Rest stop #2 had good reviews too and
we appreciated Cindy's sister Karen out there all day at that rest stop.  It
was a fun ride and we were actually given somewhat of a break from the heat
today.   Thanks to all of you who supported us either as volunteers or by
giving donations to us and the other members of the Rusty Needles team.  It
was a great day thanks to your help and generosity.

			<title> Drivers on Prescription Drugs Are Hard to Convict</title>
			<description>Drivers on Prescription Drugs Are Hard to Convict By ABBY GOODNOUGH
   and KATIE ZEZIMA
 
Published: July 24, 2010

The accident that killed Kathryn Underdown had all the markings of a
drunken-driving case. The car that hit her as she rode her bicycle one
May evening in Miller Place, N.Y., did not stop, the police said, until
it crashed into another vehicle farther down the road.

The driver could not keep her eyes open during an interview with
investigators, according to the complaint against her, and her speech
was slow and slurred. But the driver told the police that she had not
been drinking; instead, the complaint said, she had taken several
prescription medications, including a sedative
  and a muscle relaxant.

She was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the
influence of drugs ? an increasingly common offense, law enforcement
officials say, at a time when drunken-driving deaths are dropping and
when prescriptions
  for narcotic
painkillers, anti-anxiety
  medications, sleep aids and other
powerful drugs are rampant.

The issue is vexing police officials because, unlike with alcohol, there
is no agreement on what level of drugs in the blood impairs driving.

The behavioral effects of prescription medication vary widely, depending
not just on the drug but on the person taking it. Some, like
anti-anxiety drugs, can dull alertness and slow reaction time; others,
like stimulants, can encourage risk-taking and hurt the ability to judge
distances. Mixing prescriptions, or taking them with alcohol or illicit
drugs, can exacerbate impairment and sharply increase the risk of
crashing, researchers say.

'In the past it was cocaine, it was PCP
 , it was marijuana
 ,' said Chuck Hayes of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police. 'Now we're into
this prescription drug era that is giving us a whole new challenge.'

The police also struggle with the challenge of prosecuting someone who
was taking valid prescriptions.

'How do we balance between people who legitimately need their
prescriptions and protecting the public?' said Mark Neil, senior
lawyer at the National Traffic Law Center, which works with prosecutors.
'It becomes a very delicate balance.'

Some states have made it illegal to drive with any detectable level of
prohibited drugs in the blood. But setting any kind of limit for
prescription medications is far more complicated, partly because the
complex chemistry of drugs makes their effects more difficult to predict
than alcohol's. And determining whether a driver took drugs soon
before getting on the road can be tricky, since some linger in the body
for days or weeks.

Many states are confronting the problem as part of a broader effort to
keep so-called drugged drivers, including those under the influence of
marijuana and other illegal drugs, off the road.

'We have a pretty clear message in this country that you don't
drink and drive,' said R. Gil Kerlikowske
 , President Obama
 's top drug policy adviser, who wants
to reduce drugged-driving accidents by 10 percent over the next five
years. 'We need very much to have a similar message when it comes to
drugs.'

There is no reliable data on how many drivers are impaired by
prescription drugs, but law enforcement officials say the problem is
growing so quickly that states are putting hundreds of police officers
through special training to spot signs of drug impairment and clamoring
for better technology to detect it.

Even the prevalence of drug-impaired driving is unknown, since many
states combine the arrest data with that for drunken driving. Mr.
Kerlikowske points to a 2007 survey
  by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
 ,
which screened 5,900 nighttime drivers around the country and found that
16.3 percent tested positive for legal or illegal drugs.

The tests could not determine which drivers were impaired by drugs, but
Mr. Kerlikowske said the results suggested a problem that had 'flown
below the radar' for too long.

'You don't want to scare people,' he said, 'but you
certainly want to make them aware of the dangerousness. You can be as
deadly behind the wheel with prescription drugs as you can with
over-the-limit alcohol, and you are responsible for your own
actions.'

In interviews, law enforcement officials around the country said anyone
who drives while taking prescription drugs is at risk of arrest, not
only those who drive recklessly. In one recent case near Bangor, Me., a
pickup truck on a rural road was not swerving, speeding or otherwise
hinting that its driver was impaired. A police officer stopped the truck
because of its noisy muffler, then saw that the driver's eyes were
bloodshot and his speech slurred.

A Breathalyzer test found that the driver, Chester Annance, had not been
drinking. Yet he was arrested based on the officer's suspicion that
he was on drugs, and a blood test later found opiate painkillers in his
system.

Mr. Annance was convicted this month of driving under the influence of
drugs. He received seven days in jail, a three-year license suspension
and a fine. He is appealing the conviction.

'You don't need to wait for a crash to happen before you charge
someone,' said R. Christopher Almy, the district attorney in Bangor.

Defense lawyers say that in their zeal to make a statement about
drug-impaired driving, the police are casting too wide a net and
unfairly punishing people who are taking prescriptions as directed.

Tara Jenswold-Schipper, an assistant attorney general in Wisconsin, said
she usually stuck to cases where drivers had mixed drugs, exceeded the
proper dose or taken controlled medications without a prescription.

In one such case in that state, a former physician slammed his S.U.V.
into a Honda Accord in April 2008, killing the pregnant driver and her
10-year-old daughter. Prosecutors said the physician, Mark Benson, had
high levels of the sleep aid Ambien in his system, as well as Xanax, an
anti-anxiety drug, and oxycodone, an opiate painkiller. Mr. Benson was
sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Defendants can try to prove that they did not realize their medication
would affect their driving, prosecutors said, but that argument may not
hold up if the bottle had a warning label.

'Would you go home and start a chain saw and cut down a tree?'
said Lt. Col. Thomas C. Hejl, the assistant sheriff in Calvert County,
Md. 'Why should you get behind the wheel of a vehicle when the same
medication has the same side effects?'

Unable to prove impairment with blood tests, prosecutors in
drugged-driving cases rely heavily on the testimony of 'drug
recognition experts,' law enforcement officers trained to spot signs
of impairment in drivers. But there are only about 7,000 such officers
nationwide, Mr. Hayes said, not nearly enough to respond to every
traffic stop that may involve drugs.

'When they are involved,' he said of the experts, 'our
chances of convicting people are much higher.'

But persuading a jury to convict someone of impaired driving due to
prescription drugs remains difficult except for the most egregious
cases, said Douglas F. Gansler, the attorney general in Maryland.

'Because most people on the jury will also likely be taking
prescription drugs for some ailment,' Mr. Gansler said, 'whether
it's Lipitor
  or allergy pills or
whatever it might be, they might think, `I don't want that to
become criminal.' '

			<title> HHH Room Wanted</title>
			<description>If anyone has extra space or needs to give up their room for the Hotter n' Hell Hundred, please write me.  Jacqueline is joining me this year, so I'll drive cross country to Wichita Falls.  Until recently, I didn't think I would be able to travel in August, so I don't have a reservation.

Thanks!

			<title> Thanks for the fun</title>
			<description>I had so much fun last Saturday at the Centennial ride.  Thanks to everyone
who helped me and the applause for me as we left to ride.  Thanks especially
to Eddie and Robert who made sure my bike was okay, to Rickey for his
encouragement each time I come to ride and to Keith from FWBA who rode with
me the whole time I was out.  I actually didn't get lost because he was
there.

I have been out of the house a total of six times in five weeks, mostly for
appointments. I am in bed a lot lately.  The ride last week was so important
to me.  The memories of rides with you keep me going when I get down and
out. If not for all the people who support me in bicycle rides, I know the
MS would get me.  I was able to walk a lot better this week because I rode
my bicycle.
Keep On Pedaling,
Jodi

			<title> White Settlement to the Lakes Ride - this Saturday, July 24</title>
			<description>For the ride this coming Saturday:

I will be looking for volunteers to 'lead' each route (already have a sweeper for each route).

There are public restrooms at the park.  However, they do not open until 8 am.  There are several places nearby though with facilities.  Sorry about that.  The park restrooms will be open upon our return to the Park.

There are two routes, a 39 miler and a 63 miler.  The 39 mile route really only has one big hill that being Cattle Baron.  The 63 miler is hilly.  It is similar to the Dill Road Adventure ride hill-wise but is a different route.  The two routes stay together for the first 20 miles.  I will have cue sheets and maps.

Look forward to seeing everyone Saturday.

			<title>Re:  HHH aspirations</title>
			<description>Well, I recently joined the FWBA and a friend and I have been training  
for the HHH, planning to make that our first 100 mile ride.  I have  
these dreams of 5 hour or less but reality is that it probably won't  
happen. We could use any pointers from the club. Thanks and happy  
riding!!
