It's an easy way for them to let their 55,000 colleagues know they're there. Still dumb, though. The group admins approve their request, not the other 54,995 people.

Heck, I think it's weird when people post welcome messages here.
I usually just see that and assume someone is flaming out within a few weeks.
So I would think it's weird.
Hot AND windy. Just screams "Go for a ride."
Eyeballing the single thunderstorm on the radar. It is smokin' east, moving FAST. Might be targeting just a smidge south of metro. Pondering how strong my storm magnet is today.
Edit: looked at warning, it's moving at 60 mph.

Busy weekend ahead. Celebrating our anniversary tonight with dinner and Newsies at TCR, Young Eagles tomorrow and then camping out with LittleWx in my parents back yard tomorrow night. Partially for the fun of it and as a dry run to see how well he will do in Oshkosh.
Ah, **** me. In the time it took to get dressed, put on sunscreen and add tire air it went to 100% cloudy and **** started forming up just west of Lake Minnetonka. Should probably just put on garden clothes and go out and break another shovel.
Glad my outside meeting was this morning...
Had one of my outside meetings on Wednesday in persistent sprinkles. Was waiting for someone to start complaining, but I didn't really care. It felt kind of good.
I think Mrs. Velo just got us tickets to the MNUFC game tomorrow night. We finally get to check out Allianz Field. Woo-hoo!
Not the southern mountains but really hilly area. Finished on 20% grade. On gravel. After a day of climbs. Kinda gimmicky but interesting.
Just turned on Stage 7. Channel flipping to find it I stumbled on some guy talking about President Lincoln. And, yup, how he was guided and influenced by extraterrestrials. JFC.
How did the gravel portion play out? Road bikes on gravel sounds scary to me.
It looked like it was finely ground limestone like a lot of the rock bike trails so no big deal for road bikes. It did remind me of the footage and pictures you see of the tour 60+ years ago.
Was not a long stretch buy the grade was crazy. Guys literally stopped a few feet past the finish and had to be pushed out of the way.
By Tour standards they were just crawling up that final stretch.
Yeah, the one guy I thought was not going to make across the line. He literally stopped with his front tire on the line and the pusher guy was telling him he had to get across himself - he couldn't push him across. He ended up putting his foot down and pushing himself across so he could get out of the way of other finishers.
It was also a one way deal as that road was the only way to the peak so the riders had to get back on their bikes and bike back down the mountain for a ways to where the awards ceremony and all of the team buses were.
Today's stage should have been easy since it is only like 230 KM with just a few climbs.
Maybe you should try being an influencer on social media. Someone would probably pay for all the attention you'd get.
