Okay,

I've talked with my boss who was willing to let me rearrange some of my projects which should help, AND he encouraged me to take a ride over the lunch hour as well.

I'm going to ride the Cypress, not The Diego, because I still don't have the handlebars at the right height on The Diego, and I have a smidgeon of a hunch of a theory that perhaps my stiff neck is related to a ride a couple of days ago on The Diego, in which I practiced being in the drops a little, and found it hurt my neck at that time. I stopped doing that, but perhaps the stiff neck etc. is a residual thing from this, as well as the personal stress.

I love working for my boss!
