In the middle picture with the field behind us in the distance are the two Yankee Stadiums, one is the old one and the other is being built.

I thought you were the big guy in the sleeveless jersey. Did the pedal extenders make a difference for you on this ride? You might still have some soreness. I know I did until I adjusted to having my knees work in the 'proper' up and down motion.

They helped a little - no soreness but my knee was letting me know it was there a little, though this was a bit more centralized on the sides (so that's IT band issues). I concentrated on keeping my knees straight but apparently by outside observation failed. I thought it would be a good idea to give the extenders a try then put on the toe clips so that'll be the next step - hopefully will help me keep them straighter.
Strange I never had an issue before the first mile of last Sunday's ride...that's what's bugging me the most!

Ugh. Well hopefully I can nip this one in the bud quickly!

Well, don't look for him after all.
This morning I had a little accident on the mile ride to the train station from Neil F.'s house. I was in a hurry and apparently didn't fasten a pannier strap securely. So it came undone at 18 MPH and was sucked into the rear wheel. The pannier followed. I skidded to a stop. I remained upright, but the bike is now out of commission. A preliminary account of the damage includes nine spokes knocked out or broken, I don't know how many others loosened or otherwise damaged, the rear wheel seriously out of true, the rear tire shredded, and the rear brakes knocked out of alignment. Other than the shock and some upper body weakness caused by my having to carry the bike a mile, I'm OK.
I'm trying to find a local bike shop open today so I can get repaired and get rolling home. I didn't drive here, but instead did a bike-train commute. Once I know about my travel plans for today, I'll worry about the Pittsburgh-DC tour at the end of the week.
