  • Super cool thank you for making this! I just got a bike for the first time in over 20 years and I’m ready to explore my area. I have been trying out those other apps like all trails and trail forks, everything being so paywalled is frustrating.

    The bike I just got, it’s a beaut. A Clem Smith Jr. L from Rivendell Bike Works. I’m loving just scoping out parts and things but it’s a super great bike already.

    I look forward to trying this out and thanks again!






  • As another fan of top gear and the grand tour I’m sad to see them go. In any show where we grow to love the hosts as much as the material/subjects it’s hard to replace them, and it will just never be quite the same. I do however believe there is a great solution to ease the pain.

    Fasten your seatbelts folks and get ready to help the trio select the new hosts. A competition type show where the potential new grand tour hosts have to complete challenges . Things like driving miss daisy, contestants are given a buy and build budget for a 4 door vehicle that must make it through an off-road course. Here’s the kicker, “miss daisy” will be one of the trio in the back seat with a tray of tea and cookies. The object is to reach the end of the course while spilling the least of the tea on our backseat host. Easy shenanigans setup, good fun, just one example.

    Now let’s make this even better, viewers get to vote on the contestants they would like to see on the next hosts. These aren’t pass/ fail elimination challenges, they all stay beginning to end. We get to have a chance to see who these people are and in the end decide in a top 3 vote who will be the next top gear hosts.

    Ideally in this new version of grand tour the original trio becomes the dictators of subjects and missions for the new. It gets them out of the action while still keeping them in play. A passing of the baton.


  • I don’t think they would be considered unknown except the fact that jazz seems not to be a mainstream music genre, but my uncle has introduced me to quite a few artists.

    Stanley Clarke

    Pat Metheny

    Jaco Pastorius

    I think you would probably know those. Plenty of good stuff from them. The others that stood out to me were:

    Gabor Szabo

    Al Di Meola

    I tend to enjoy instrumental stuff in all genres and had not listened to much jazz before so it’s great to have a plethora of “new” music to explore.
