Does anyone know of Google Earth kmz or .fit files exist for this year’s Vuelta? Trying to plan a trip and would like some files to load into the computer. Especially interested in routing for the Covadonga stage. Maps on official Vuelta site are sorely lacking.

“To use a technical term, it blew my mind,” said Vancouver’s former chief planner Brent Toderian…”They weren’t lazy about it—they didn’t just throw up barriers and ban cars. It might be the best bargain I’ve ever heard,” Toderian said. #Montreal www.theenergymix.com/montreal-add...

Oh fuck
So uh. They may have a break in the Boeing failures. And Airbus is affected, too. A British firm may have been forging release certificates, lying about the metallurgy of their parts, so that brand new parts already had corrosion.

If you're sharing a clickbait post about how much fast food prices have risen based on cherry-picking a few of the largest increases off the menu, you should be aware it's part of an effort to generate public support for crushing the labor market by increasing resentment of inflation.

E-bikes deliver what our elected officials think EVs do (but don’t) But our elected officials see themselves as drivers & bike riders as Others so less effective expensive EVs get 99% of the subsidies
“One year after purchase, users continued to be satisfied with their e-bikes, integrating them into their routines for three to four days a week. They reduced weekly car travel by an average of 48 kilometres per week, a reduction of 30-40 per cent.” news.ubc.ca/2024/04/30/e...

I’d like to live on the East Coast for the next 3 weeks, because these 3-4 AM wake up calls are brutal. Still, it’s the Giro d’Italia, and I’m not missing one second.
