    How was the Glen Vegas Race?

    Did you participate in the race? I wasn't able to make it this year. How was it? How did you do?

    Cotton Crochet Cycling Gloves

    I honestly thought it was an April Fools' Joke! https://aerotechdesigns.com/products/extra-thick-wild-print-crochet-gloves What do you all think about this cycling glove?

    Tariffs

    Yeah. I have about everything I need but I'll still go to them for work when I need it.

    Stretching

    Who here consistently stretches? Do you find it to be helpful as a cyclist? I want to stretch more but I suck at it.

    Tariffs

    Are any of you anxious about what the tariffs will bring to the cycling community? Have you been stocking up on anything lately?

    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.

    Report flooding along your cycling route to warn other riders and help them plan better. Have any of you experienced any flooding on your route yet? Or are you staying off the road for the time being?

    Hopefully you guys can do it. If it floods Williams Hill, we're all in trouble.

    32er Mountain Bikes

    Have any of you heard about the new 32-inch mountain bike tire? I found an article about one company doing some crowdfunding for it: https://www.bikemag.com/news/a-32-inch-mountain-bike-dirtysixer-delivers-for-tall-riders-with-mtb-32er I have a 29er and personally love it. I kind of like the...

    I've not ridden this one yet. I almost see it as a Beautiful Southern replacement ride.

    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.
