    I’m 36 and cannot think of a single one of my peers who isn’t appalled by what Israel is doing. Almost all of us have young children, so it hits hard. Several of the ones I’m close enough with to have a more in-depth conversation about it with have said US support of Israel is one of their top...

Did a two-week block of training on the bike to start getting ready for some racing in October. I rode every day with an average duration of around an hour and a half. During that...

    Cowardly riding by the Frenchman to win the stage today 😡. Healy deserved that 100%. Great to see signs of life from Jonas the last few days though. Seems to be getting better as the race goes on, hopefully he’ll keep up the aggressive racing!

    The Music Thread

    Excited for a slate of heavy shows later this summer and fall. The Acacia Strain in Charlotte, The Callous Daoboys in Greensboro and freaking AFI in Asheville. I’m particularly excited for He Is Legend in Asheville though. They’re a metalcore band from Wilmington that have since changed their...
