Or maybe we should just have threads for each of these.
As a similar example, there is a well-subscribed thread on the Northeast Regional Discussion Forum,Metro Boston: Good ride today?,” with over 8500 replies since 2009. I have described it:

Of course we in Metro Boston all know the region, and each other, at least electronically, so we are a ready receptive audience for each other.

I have thought of that thread as the cycling equivalent of “apres-ski” after a day on the slopes, where we gather to exchange stories, routes, photos, ribbing, and (?) tall tales.
