I have moved these to a new forum.

The Olympics

Recently I've started unfollowing any news/account that talks about any of the presidential candidates, and have started following nothing but Olympic coverage. This has been a really good thing for a few reasons. First - it removes me from caring about something I have no control over. I recently took the advice of someone who suggested to focus on the smaller things in life, and care less about the big things. This has been a great bit of advice for me. Anyway, my IG feed is really positive now. I like it.

I watched the women's MTB race yesterday and it was excellent, even if the announcers sucked.

Content

People still blog.

Posts of Note

If you want to get in on the discussion about what your first bike was, that's the place to do it. Of when you first recorded to Strava you can check in there. Or if you want to check in on this year's 31/31 challenge, there's a lot of stuff there as well.

I don't remember my first bike. I have Strava stuff going back to 2007 and my amplifier goes to 11. And I skipped this year's 31/31 challenge as it did not work for me.

Content

A proposed bike park in Arkansas. I didn't read too much on this. It came from a lift blog (ski-centric) that I read. Seems like it is firmly in the political realm at first glance.

Pinkbike Podcast: Why did our bikes get so big? Have not listened but I plan to this week.

Saskaden 6 wiki content added this past weekend.

Trail Maintenance at CR
  1. Last Monday we fixed the blue trail
  2. Thursday I groomed part of the Stop Sign trail
  3. Friday morning we fixed the access trail to the ballfield lot
  4. Yesterday I did more Stop Sign work but did not take any pics
What Else?

What else of note happened this week?
