Could the Ouachita Trail become one of America's officially recognized long-distance bike trails?
The new BOLT Act is putting trails like this on the national radar.

This is now my primary light source. Won't say I like everything, it works well enough. The replaceable LI-ION battery is the deciding factor. Carrying spares means not having to mess around with multiple lights or plugging into a power bank.
Pretty cool catching up with Robb Finegan at the Unbound Expo last week. He's now in North Platte, NE. Roughly halfway into the 3500 mile Great Plains Gravel route.
No doubt you've heard this year's Unbound was another mudfest. Something like 25% of the XL riders finished. I was among those who didn't. Made it to Florence (208) and pulled the plug. No regrets. We signed up for adventure, glory's not a given.
@JillianKozyra Mother nature put on light show overnight. A nearly full moon with lightning off in the distance. In the morning the showers brought more lightning and even a rainbow. Beauty and beast!
With Unbound race day fast approaching the talk is weather. How it's going to be another mud year. Well I have news for them, my bad knee is saying it's going to be fine.
Jim Cummins' return to the Granada was what we expected, and had been hoping for / looking forward to. It was honest, direct, inspiring, humble and spiritual. He gives credit throughout the 9 minute acceptance speech and I doubt there were many dry eyes in the theater.
