    32er Mountain Bikes

    And I can only imagine the cost that bike (and sadly any bike) is going to have with the tariffs. I'm glad I have the bikes I want but I feel sorry for bike shops.

    Anyone ever bought anything cycling-related from TEMU? If so, what did you buy and how did it turn out?

    A tornado hit Tunnel Hill State Trail

    Yeah. I'm wondering if it will be severe this season. I worry about cuts to the weather service, too. I don't want to get political, but we need that stuff, especially for us in the country that don't have access to so many resources like city folk do.

    A tornado hit Tunnel Hill State Trail

    Yeah. It tracked for about 15 miles as an EF-2. A friend of mine lost most of his roof, and neighbors down the road lost their entire homes. It's a miracle no one died.

    A tornado hit Tunnel Hill State Trail

    Around Shelby Road, where the trail goes under HWY-45, the tornado crossed the trail. I was told that the section is closed today, and the trail crew is working on clearing it up. We drove on 45 where the path was -- it's absolutely horrible looking. Very sad for those who lost their homes.

    The Tunnel Hill State Trail : Surface question

    Unpaved is definitely a good status. There was plans to pave a big chunk of it. I'm hoping they don't personally. I'd rather it be the fine rock.
