    Politics. Do we hold a grudge?

    I am a long time Democratic party supporter but lately I have had an urge to step away. I recently watched a Dana White clip somewhere and he mad a great point. Do we "hate" people because of who they voted for? He points out that this is a free country and we have the right to vote who we want...

    Disagree a but. I know several very fast and fit people that can’t hang at race pace once any bit of technical is thrown i to the occasion.

    What are the WORST new bike trends for 2024

    I raced the bear creek nats as well as the Frederick Watershed marathon nats. These courses really show the people who focus on fitness vs those that focus on technical. Between these two races I have never seen so many “pro/cat 1” racers out of the race with broken rims/flats. Fitness only goes...

    I am happy with mine. This pair is about 3 years old. They are starting to slowly degrade themselves now but 3 years is great. They do not interfere with my helmet but I do get slight discomfort from pressure on the side of my head after 2+ hours.

    I agree but disagree. Every sport has technical advantages, even road racing. I feel I should have a better chance racing at a place like Freestone in Mass because I ride there often and other rocky places. This may be exactly why they call Lewis Morris a "road course". I did happen to spectate...

    Those are very nice. I use Aftershokz Aeroplex and can even here when the birds tweeting while listening to Cannibal Corpse.

    What are the WORST new bike trends for 2024

    Gravel bikes may end up in this category. I follow some pretty legit YouTubers like Dylan Johnson and DCN and they both recommend MTB tires as the best gravel tires. Is the bike industry just trying to make a sale?!
