Days late to this thread but another vote for RideWithGPS. I paid ~$50/yr to access the lowest tier of paid features (can’t remember what all is/isn’t included with that but their site should have a breakdown - I feel like I needed it for an organized event I was riding in). I have mine integrated with Strava (free version) so my rides and segments are still tracked there too.

Grew up riding mountain bikes, skateboards (street) and snowboards 25+ years ago. I laughed at the snowboarders wearing helmets and told friends who were getting into the sport not to bother with them. Got married and my wife made me get a helmet (lame, but whatever), then I had some kids.

8 years ago, I crashed snowboarding on an easy green run when going in for lunch. I was with a friend (rare for me as I usually went alone) and was taking it easy on an otherwise chill day. I ended up with two broken vertebrae, a tibial plateau fracture, a broken shoulder, and a concussion - i have no recollection of the accident, going down the hill in a sled on a backboard with patrol, taking an hours-long ambulance ride from the mountains, or any of my time in the ER - I apparently just kept repeating the same couple of lines to anyone I talked to, including my wife.

I got back into biking a couple years ago and am now riding more than I ever did growing up - I avoid cars/paved roads and mostly ride gravel, single track, and multi-use paths now. I wear a helmet every time i go out. I went over the handlebars a week and a half ago while riding alone. I didn’t hit my head - just a hard landing, some scrapes and a bruised ego - but just another reminder how quickly things can go bad and how little control over the situation you have when it does.

A sweaty head and some random person thinking i don’t look cool aren’t really big concerns of mine (i also don’t think I look very cool so I guess that makes two of us).

The network TV spin-off for this FBI task force is going to be great.

Melania and Elon, this is your chance.

I didn’t have to look hard.

Looks like there’s a few categories that this red state isn’t the worst at yet. Maybe with these cuts they can make it to the very bottom!

You have no idea the economic toll that three rounds of tariffs have on a country.
