Vacation is clearly over when you were just in a country that has embraced 4ply toilet paper as the standard and you return to your sad 2ply bs. Unintentional metaphor? Maybe.

The USDA wants to close every forest service regional office and Outdoor Alliance has made it easy to send a comment demanding reconsideration.
The USDA has released a reorganization plan that would affect our country's National Forests. Since February, The USDA has lost critical staff at the Forest Service which have put our public lands and outdoor recreation opportunities at risk.
Protect Public Lands and Outdoor Recreation
The Forest Service lost thousands of staff this year. Now, USDA’s staffing & reorganization plan could mean more layoffs, office closures, and reduced access to the outdoors.

Finding a typo in a popular book does the same thing to my adult brain that finding an Easter egg in the yard did to my child brain.

Gratitude to the trail builders at Watters Smith in Lost Creek, WV who have created something really special for all MTB skill levels.
What was most surprising though was the amount of Arrowhead Orb Weavers I pulled off my bike.

This whole "Let's use computers to do everything badly in the most expensive and unethical possible way" thing is really testing me.

Ordinary folk: I will share images of the horror with the hope that my elected officials do something to stop it.
Elected officials: I will also share pictures of the horror then email you asking for $10.

We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader.
This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent.
If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

Heavily-armed DHS paramilitary forces in military vehicles fired dozens of stun grenades at a crowd of onlookers today in Los Angeles.

"For our activism to be consistent, it must also be sustainable. As in, for a lifetime, not just a season."
Omkari L. Williams, "Micro Activism"
This read was a timely and powerful reminder that "the small, often unnoticed actions are the ones that create the tipping point."

Gratitude to Unision Bike Lab in Pittsburgh for putting on a banger of an event yesterday. The Pittsburgh Roubaix was a rad exploration of gnarly, steep cobblestone climbs around the city in the cold rain. 10/10!

A show lineup that makes total sense to me, but probably didn’t happen, is The Jesus Lizard and Tom Waits. I’m not going to bother looking it up…but I will certainly dream about how sick that show would’ve been live.
