Anne Terpstra Announces End of World Cup XC Career, As Lapierre PXR Racing Program Is Cancelled
That's a bummer. Always a smile on her face and someone who could close a gap on a descent. Anne was a real dark horse in one my three favourite mass-start competitions on the planet (AMA SX, MotoGP, WC womens XC).
I'm sure Anne will do well in whatever she applies herself to. I can teach skills in the workplace, but I can't teach enthusiasm nor resilience.

Lucky it isn't a V4 because you'd be on your 4th warranty.

That's because it is a steel frame which means it is very... irony.

5Dev Offers $12,500 to Anyone Who Can Win Leadville With the Shredville Mount
@Harry-O: I, for one, but probably speaking for many, am glad I no longer have to remember the difference between 'low-normal' and... whatever the other one was. Not only do I not want to know, I don't even want to try to remember.

Smoke Cancels Downhill Finals as Crankworx SilverStar 2026 Concludes
@jesse-effing-edwards: Not sure if you know this, but when a tree decomposes, it releases the same amount of CO2 and heat as if it was burned, it's only that it happens more slowly (Google is your friend on this one). Trees, coal and gas are stored forms of the sunlight energy that went into making the plants in the first place (give or take). Burning fossil fuels that were safely below the ground is a net gain of CO2/heat into the atmosphere, but whether a tree is burned or it rots is not. The only way to stop a tree from re-releasing it's CO2 would be, say, turning it into lumber and using it.
