I’ve thought it over, updated the appropriate pages and moved on. The Alliance is turning back into a “club” if you must call it that. You can join, there will be organized rides and events, and yes we will withhold political ranting to ensure that the Alliance of cycling oriented individuals in Southern Utah can succeed.
I’ve contemplated doing this many times in the past few years but have always held back due to the amount of time involved and for what the Alliance had evolved into. I realized, after the failed attempt to get a steering committee for local trails going, that if I want something done, I’m just going to have to do it all myself. By transforming, the once advocacy group, once loose affiliation of friends, once militant vegan Alliance into a club I believe we can begin to gather enough like minded individuals to actually be able to create a cycling friendly community and to further foment a healthy lifestyle in Southern Utah.
Am I done ranting? Yes and no. My political thoughts and activities have not changed but will no longer be made public in this forum. For those of you who enjoyed such things, they can still be found here. So I will be ranting but just not here. I can here the faint applause for the yes and for the no.
I have loosely updated the About the Alliance pages. I say loosely because they will be refined more in the future. I will also be removing my personal writings from the page as well.
Anyways, get out and ride. I’ll keep you updated…
