This is a long and interesting read about a fake Strava KOM, which leads to a fake former pro cyclist and from there to layer after layer of strangeness.

Also occurred to me that I met the guy once. Don’t look for that Wikipedia link.

He was still asking for his expensive lens to get bounced of the concrete when someone plows into him. Depending on the bird, it may be worth it.

I’ve ridden through Superior, MT, twice. There’s stuff there.
In 2014 a train derailed and dumped some Boeing fuselages into the Clark Fork River.
