Our only regret about these Never Second bars is that we didn’t shoot a photo of Bill Armstrong when we met him at Sea Otter Classic last weekend. SOC is a 4-day Celebration of Cycling, and in the mass of SOC Expo vendors—often understandably weary on the final day—Bill immediately stood out for his uplifting, positive energy and genuineness.

Thank you to Bill of #NeverSecond for thoughtfully contributing three boxes of Never Second C30 Fuel Bars to Bicycling Monterey, so we have fuel "at the ready” for youth needing a boost on our next rides. never2.com/products/c30-fuel-b

We’re grateful to Bill and all who contribute supplies for Bicycling Monterey projects: bit.ly/SuppliesBikeMRY.

I've finally seen John Oliver's debunking of the trans athlete stances adopted by the likes of transphobic asshats and scumbag turncoats like Gavin Newsom. And I have to say that this is one of the best segments he's ever done. It's a BRILLIANT argument well worth your 42 minutes. It sifts through the claims and systematically debunks them with wit and smarts. We're deeply lucky to have this guy (and his staff).

#GrantHolloway has been nothing but unbeatable over the 60m #hurdles … have to turn the clock back to March 16, 2014, when he was just 16 and competing at the New York New Balance Nationals to unearth the last time the now 27-year-old didn’t finish first”
#Trackandfield is a weird sport … we can do a better job of marketing certain #athletes that have certain skills, or are going for history more so than marketing just this regular shoe brand”

#running #DaylightSavings
“According to the experts at the Cleveland Clinic, #endurance #athletes (#runners and #cyclists, that’s you) pay the biggest price when it comes to reduced #sleep. Along with feeling extra tired from a lost hour of #sleep, #sleep experts say that this causes a drop in overall motivation”
"So why is pushing the clock ahead one hour so harmful for your #health? Here’s what a #sleep expert has to say”

#running #marathon
“Race organizers recruit pacers based on the times requested by elite #athletes. Contracts often include a flat fee for getting their pace group to specific marks, with potential bonuses negotiated in advance. Some races require pacers to drop out, while others allow them to finish. If required to drop, pacers are given a designated point where they must exit. And there are more granular rules in place too”

How long before professional #athletes in the US start to take a stand? Did the backlash from TFG 1.0 cause them to turtle-up or is the literal billionaire 'ownership' structure telling them to stay quiet? Something's gotta give... They have the power to pump the breaks on billions of dollars in the economy. #sports #uspol

#COVID #vaccines protect #kids from #longCOVID—and don’t cause sudden death
Researchers recommend kids stay up to date on #COVIDvaccines
#COVID19 vaccines cut the risk of long COVID by between 57–73% in kids and #teens. A second study offered more data that the now-annual shots are not linked to sudden cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death in young #athletes—a claim that gained traction on social media and among anti-vaccine groups during the acute phase of the pandemic.

#running #athletics #trackandfield
#GrandSlamTrack is planning to do things a bit differently. Here’s the concept. A total of 48 #athletes, or ‘Racers’, have already been signed up and are contracted to compete in one of six event groups in each of the four ‘Slams’”
"It’s all designed to create a professional, and more lucrative, league that sits at the top of the sport, places the focus on rivalries rather than times and draws more attention” athleticsweekly.com/interviews
