Gail Ryba Medical Fund
Many of you know Gail Ryba personally from the many years she served as our Bike Coalition President, Chief Cook and Bottle Washer, League Cycling Instructor.... as well as other do-good non-profit activities. Many of you are aware she has been fighting Cancer, and doing well! Unfortunately, medical co-pays and some non-covered services are making things pretty tight financially.
This email is in part to suggest that we all consider what I will call 'delayed recognition' for all those years of hard work, all those good deeds, and all that inspiration.... and consider donating to a Fund we have set up at Los Alamos Natl Bank. You can mail donations for deposit to
the 'Gail Ryba Medical Fund'

Commuter/Cross bike for sale
2004 Redline Conquest Pro cyclocross bike, disk and canti compatible frame and fork, never crashed or dented. Used as a daily commuter, not raced. Selling because it is too tall for me (shoulda researched Redline’s dimensions better).

Components are a mix and match since the bike was set up for everyday commuting:
8 speed Shimano (Ultegra bar ends, 105 front /XT rear derailleurs)

32H Sora hubs/Mavic MA 3 rims no-name spokes currently shod with Vittoria Randonneur Pro 700-35 tires.
Avid Shorty 4 cantilever brakes/Dia Compe drop bar levers
Turbo seat, Nashbar micro adjustable seat post
Asking $475 or make offer. Suitable for commuting as is. Will also sell just the frame and fork/headset (make offer) if you are gonna race it or are otherwise not interested in the prosaic parts.
