This is Tim, the webmaster for the RoS.

My Gmail account has been locked indefinitely which includes emails sent to "webmaster (at) rideofsilence.org". Please PM me or email my work address at MSU if you need to reach me until and hopefully when I've been able to recover my account. Thank you.

PS: If any of you are willing to try help me get my account unlocked/ recovered I would greatly appreciate the help as I'm losing hope I'll get it back. My last email of our all-organizer e-newsletter apparently broke one of Google's new policies re: max. number of emails that can be sent in a day which must've changed just in the past month as our November e-newsletter went thru just fine.
