I’m here in the West Kootenays for gardening, baking, cooking, cycling (the muddier the better), women’s sports, skiing, Doctor Who, nature, pets and positivity.

Women’s Tour de l’Avenir ‘paused’ for 2026 - Canadian Cycling Magazine Organizers cite a shortage of structured under-23 teams and the rising presence of young riders in WorldTour races as reasons for putting the fourth edition of the women’s event on hold

It *may* come back in 2027 as a junior race, however.

Sport won't redeem or save the world, but Marco Odermatt and Mathieu Van Der Poel gliding effortlessly (one on the skis, the other over the cobblestones) are still a sight to behold.

By request, this is how you pronounce the name of 🇳🇴 Kamilla Aasebø, one of the riders in the breakaway in today's #OHNwomen. Listen and repeat! #OHN26

C’mon Tibor definitely could’ve avoided him too.

Frankly better than last years commentator, Steve Fleck.

Why can’t I find any content about the women’s Omloop race?

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.

A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.

May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

Quite worried about her. She’s going to need some good support to get through this.

Had to be put down. Fractured leg.

The problem from here in Canada is that Flo is really unreliable. They don’t manage to stream all races when they’re live, don’t stream all women’s races, and have a lot of technological glitches.
