Maybe it's time to Pivot back to bike pics.

New Mexico is all over bike packing and bike recreation, so not surprised that they are promoting this as well as a Republican senator from WY. NM Senator Ben Ray Lujan in an IMBA press release: BOLT=Biking on Long-Distance Trails Act.

From Bikepacking.com: New Bolt Act Could Fund 20 Long-Distance Bike Trails in the US This article has a link to the full text of the bill. Many states are realizing the economic benefits of cycle specific tourism, especially for out of the way communities with depressed economies. Maybe more bills like this could create better guidelines to expedite the currently cumbersome process of creating new trails on BLM and Forest Service lands.

After getting stung, did you then Turner round?

The other week while riding Brushy I got stung by something, not sure if it was a wasp orbea. It was no Picnic, it was Mulligan.

Getting into this Jamis a dangerous thing to happen.

Oh geez .... this thread is falling into a Canyon! I'll rejoin after signs of a Rocky Mountain high!

Just watch out for the Diamondbacks and Ghosts..

Yup, and people are TREKing everywhere to find specialized trails. It struck me as a grassroots "they did a lot with what they had" system.

Oh gawd, that sounds terrible. That needle can be painful enough when done right, let alone with Dr Kervorkian driving.
