The food didn't get bad until the south. Not all of it but they seemed more geared toward quantity instead of quality.

Yesterday on my way back home, I got whizzed by (can’t really call it ”passed”) someone on what I like to assume to be an eMTB, going uphill on the MUP 
.
I mean, I’m not the best of my shape to begin with, and riding a 29lbs steel bike with panniers full of clothing, shower supplies etc adds up too, but getting whizzed by someone leisurely pedaling on an MTB is reaaally demoralizing.

Don't folks know you set them up with couplers? You unscrew the couplers and take apart the cables before breaking down the bike.
By the way I have some couplers lying around if anyone wants them now that I am out of this sport. It was too fat for me.

I do use an ad-blocking browser. Maybe this one slipped through.
Either way, it seems odd that we would advertise for an entity whose name we are forbidden to mention.
