Teton County gets an honorable mention and McCall ain’t bad either

say what?

At least the Neolithic Revolution got an honorable mention. That would be No 1 in my book, way above anything else.

Lance got some words on that... and he ain't wrong.

lance may be a little out of touch. juniors coming up now didn't grow up idolizing or watching lance dominate. he's the guy from dad's era who cheated and got caught and banned. even juniors here in the US (and honestly at least out west NICA is siphoning talent/resources from USAC right now so road racing isn't even cool anymore even where you can find road races) only know lance second hand from dad and uncles. the vibe i get is that the Gen Z cyclists don't know much about Lance and more importantly don't care.

Without a warrant, and without him being able to reach into the bag for a weapon, what legal right did LEO have to search the bag at that point?

They should have just gotten a warrant.

LEO think Terry means they can lie and create any situation involving any random threat and violate out 4A rights.

I have zero knowledge of the law, but I'm interested in the process - if the gun was later inventoried at police HQ as a result of a more thorough search of the backpack, how can that evidence be introduced at trial?

Especially if the arrest was based on what the police initially found in the backpack? Or did they base the arrest on some other factor, and that allows them to search the backpack more extensively at HQ?

Manufacturers use the pedals to avoid DOT registration requirements, like mopeds used to.

They’re also supposed to max out under 25mph, consequently most offer a factory override to allow people to push many of them up to 50mph+.

Yep, I don't have a problem with people on e-bikes, especially Class 1.

It's the kids on e-motos like Surrons that ride the walking/running paths, sidewalks, and tear up the trails. The law here says they need to be licensed, registered, and insured but I've never seen the police stop these kids.

the greenbelt is lovely especally along julia davis park, and that's right across the river from boise state. the zoo is right there as well.

if you're into history at all, the idaho state museum is in the same area and honestly pretty good! you can see everything in a few hours so it isn't an all day thing.

there's a lot of good stuff along the greenbelt besides the above - the mk nature center is right on the river tucked into armstrong park, the bethine church nature trail section of the greenbelt is great for bird watching (literally across the river from armstrong park) and there's the whitewater park - go surfing if you like - on the river in garden city, which is close to cafes and a lot of wineries.

the float season usually starts in mid or late june depending on river flows, that would be an option (floating the boise river) if you're into that. there is fly fishing for trout right in town, if float season has started just get out early in the morning before the "bikini hatch".

if you're into hiking, the trails at the military reserve are close to downtown and you can make them as long or as short as you like.

the drive up to bogus basin (you'll go from high desert to pine forests) is nice and depending on when you go in june, the scenic chairlift rides may be running. will be about 10-15 degrees cooler up there too. there are also pullouts along the road to access hikes.

hyde park in the north end has a ton of cafes, restaurants, and bars and has a unique kind of feel. good options for coffee and pastries downtown are flying m, for lunch in hyde park certified has awesome sandwiches (but bluffside on bogus basin road is good too). for a fancy dinner, the avery downtown is always a great meal. if you don't want to plan, just walk up and down 8th street (no cars are allowed, it's pedestrian only) and it's lined with restaurants and bars with pretty views of the state capital.

and if you've got time, the 2-hour drive to mccall along 55 (payette river scenic byway) is totally worth it for the views of the north fork of the river and then payette lake.

or the 3-hour drive to stanley up 21 (ponderosa pine scenic byway) for views of the south fork of the payette and sawtooths is really good. you can come back the way you came, or head down 75 through sun valley and back to boise on 20.

There's nothing in Lake Woodlands that isn't in any other body of water. I've done one Tri. It was at Bridgeland in NW Houston. The open water swim was in the lake there. Let me tell you, open water swims in Tris are mayhem. Imagine swimming in a frantic group of 50+ people who all go in the water in a random conglomeration group. So fast guys are behind slower guys. People slam into you, kick you in the face, swim over you, it's a brawl. I worked my way to the fringe and probably swam an extra several hundred yards just trying to keep from getting aquatrampled. I bet I swallowed a gallon of lake water. It was bananas. I can see how even pros could get kicked or hit and knocked out and drown. It's crazy.

You’re describing a mass start, IM Texas was a rolling start or in waves. Not saying that eliminates contact, but it’s not the “washing machine” of the old days. Also, nothing embodies FAFO like a slow swimmer lining up at the front of a mass start swim/triathlon.
