It was thrilling and inspiring to see 40 intrepid cyclists embark on the 600 km Da Nang - Hue route that we had put so much care into planning. From the remote Ho Chi Chi Minh Highway to the windy coastal lagoons, this adventure put everyone to the test. Still, they kept smiling throughout!

For a fascinating look at the millenia of philosophical and economic exchange between Europe and India, I highly recommend William Dalrymple's The Golden Road. Every page brings revelations about spiritual traditions, trade routes, and cross-cultural interactions.

Make no mistake, America is coming for Alberta. This requires a response at the federal, provincial, and community level. Federally, the government must summon the ambassador for an explanation and, absent a complete retraction and apology, expel him. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

An amazing experience riding The Alps Ultracycling Adventure from Tegernsee to Lago di Garda this week. Highly recommended for endurance cyclists who like lots of rugged climbing into remote and beautiful locations. Great camaraderie among riders and crew!

It’s not lost on us that a new social platform isn’t exactly top of mind. Tech execs joining the U.S. military. More war. And here we are, grateful for everyone with us in this moment. A social platform isn’t all that social without good people supporting it.

As a cycling tour leader and developer, I find it extremely helpful to take part in endurance cycling events and races. It's an immediate immersion in the culture, cycling infrastructure, and hospitality of a given region. Shots here from Seven Serpents (Slovenia, Croatia & Italy).
