This was probably wrong forum to post this...more about sore necks than a regional event; sorry. The neck soreness is slowly going away, back to training, getting stoked for CNC. Anyone interested in this Shermer's neck, a google 'images' search will bring up some interesting contraptions people have made to combat this severe problem. I still say there's a 'niche market' for some enterprising company to develop something for this malady. Just a stiff molded plastic form, to prop between the chin and chest would do; has to be lightweight and carry-able on a bike.
