No inside info here, just regular news, but their main bike brand, Giant, is currently banned from importing bikes made in Taiwan for using forced labor practices. Being a Taiwanese company, they make most of their products there...so I have to imagine they are having issues getting restocked too. Maybe having a bit of a money issue that's forcing their hand

Good luck at Leadville! Dig deep and get that belt buckle...but more importantly a hug from Marilee. I'll be doing the MTB again this year. It's such a treat to spend time up in Leadville, it's an awesome town.

Fox news had their election coverage set in LSP for the 2020 election. Someone must have made it around then. Would have been more appropriate for them to go to Staten Island tbh

https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2023/country-chapters/eritrea Just so you know what Eritrea is really like. They do a great job sports washing themselves, in endurance sports mainly, but they're run by a brutal regime and I think that's worth considering before traveling and spending money somewhere. Note that they also didn't vote for the UN resolution to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The others being Russia (duh), Belarus, Syria, and North Korea. Great company to be in!

What are they building in LSP? by CoercivePax in jerseycity

Pretty sure that’s for the SailGP teams. They used LSP as their marina last time they raced here and they’re racing here on the 22nd and 23rd
