The other club I ride with doesn't have an official policy as far as I know, but I have never seen an e-bike on one of their rides.

Also, when traveling abroad, it’s perfectly normal to talk about when you’re going back to the States.
Then there are the various tri-state areas. Gotta say, I side with “it’s fine”.

Shortened form of the name. It's not United State of America.

An honest mistake, I'm sure.

I was the oldest guy he had ever taught (crazy enough) to climb with hooks, that's why I had my #1 up.

My main club banned e-bikes a few years ago. There was quite a kerfuffle with club board members quitting and some riders vowing to never come back. Strangely, I think most of the quitters were anti-e-bike. There has been talk of revisiting the decision but so far the ban still holds.
The other club I ride with doesn't have an official policy as far as I know, but I have never seen an e-bike on one of their rides.

Ahhhhh - that makes sense. So if an area containing multiple cities was know as, oh, for instance, the Twin Cities, or the Quad Cities, then, by your logic, saying "the cities" is perfectly a-okay because it's a shortened form of the name! Glad we got that sorted out!

One of my neighbors went to bike night at COTA a few weeks ago. I told him before he went that he would not make it up the hill to turn 1. He argued that he would with no problem. He came back and admitted defeat.

My Chromebook died, or is dying. I will not be re-learning Windows. Apple? I think not, though one never knows As my Chromebook steadily lost function, I steadily have considered stepping off. If I disappear.....

Good ride this morning. I've done a fair amount of longer rides this year, but I haven't really felt as strong, for the duration, as I did last year. Today was approaching that level of strength/endurance, though. The ol' legs did get cranky at the end, and my hamstrings are looking for any excuse to lock up right about now, but it still feels like progress.
