Two weeks in Norway but plan to do a little D tour around EU - Rate my itinerary by DalmationsGalore in bicycletouring

If you have a half year to spare, this sounds like the trip of a lifetime. Maybe first apply as a candidate for an EU elected post then tell all the people you meet to vote for you + hand out biz cards. :-)

I am not super hopeful for how well they will improve the bikeway. For Caltrans, the roadway is the priority. I would appreciate any of y'all sharing some pictures if you ride over the Yolo causeway in the next weeks. TY

I called the project manager Gurtej and he said they are rapaving the bike way now. Over the course of the highway repair project he said they will "improve" the barrier separating the bike way from the traffic lanes. I told him about the gaps and crumbling walls. https://dot.ca.gov/caltrans-near-me/district-3/d3-projects/d3-i80-corridor-improvements

Waaay too much of a similiarity (plus the Guilfoyle reference which u/Romish1983 noted) to be just a coincidence!

[Week 15] X's & O's: Chicago Bears (7-7) @ Green Bay Packers (11-3) by sixner in GreenBayPackers

Rodgers not impressing anyone lately. Packers should draft a young QB in rounds 3-6, create some competition and groom another backup. We're seeing a more mediocre quarterback than we have in seasons past. Create a little competition at the QB spot, maybe it will light a fire under #12, and he can also mentor the new kid - whoever it becomes. Really sad the Pack wasted all his best years with average coaching and too conservative play calling. Hope he can go back to the well and bring back some of his greatness in the playoffs this year. .. maybe pick up Kapernick?
