There's a side of motorcycle training almost no one talks about — the mental pressure of learning new skills in front of other riders. Why can training make you feel like you've suddenly gotten worse before you get better? Why does confidence sometimes drop even when your skills are improving? Through rider Erik Wilkinson's experience, along with insights from expert trainer Chris Birch and Monica Birch, we explore what's really happening in your mind during training — and how to manage it so you come out a stronger, more confident rider.

After more than three decades in the sport, George Hincapie has started a new venture this year as the founder of the UCI Pro Road Team Modern Adventure Pro Cycling. It's already gaining steam much faster than he expected — so fast, in fact, that they're headed to the Volta a Catalunya and Paris Roubaix this year. George sat down with Payson this week to talk about why he wanted to start a new team, what he hopes they will achieve in the coming years, and why he almost turned down that Roubaix invite. He also talks about his storied racing career, from his early days with the Postal Service to his famous lead-out for Mark Cavendish at Milan-San Remo in 2009 that sealed his dramatic victory. Plus, he reveals the one race that still gives him nightmares.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveenEmail: howdy@withpace.cc

This week on AwesomeCast, Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar bring a travel-heavy, tech-friendly episode that starts with a massive field report from Epic Universe in Orlando and ends with a handful of clever tech and gaming stories. The big headline is simple: if you've been wondering whether Epic Universe is worth the hype, this episode gives you a real user's perspective instead of polished marketing copy.  Sorg and Katie spend a big chunk of the episode walking through their experience at Epic Universe and Islands of Adventure. They talk strategy for entering the park without early-access privileges, how they navigated long waits, why some online advice helped and some of it only created anxiety, and which lands felt the most immersive. Their coverage includes Dark Universe, Harry Potter's Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and the How to Train Your Dragon area, which may have stolen the show. Food gets plenty of love too, with shoutouts to the butterbeer crepe, mac-and-cheese cone, and Toadstool Cafe.    They also compare Universal's newest park design choices with Disney's standards, especially when it comes to ride throughput, theming detail, and visible wear-and-tear. Later, the conversation expands to Islands of Adventure, where they touch on the nostalgia of Toon Lagoon, the legal oddity of the Marvel section, and the thrills of Hagrid's and Velocicoaster.  Dave Podnar keeps things lighter with his Awesome Thing of the Week: the new McDonald's Happy Meal Crocs. Tiny? Yes. Silly? Absolutely. Weirdly great? Also yes. The team has fun showing off the miniature details, “sport mode,” and QR-game tie-in.  Then comes Chachi Says Video Game Minute, which this week covers a Mario gathering in New York that won't count as a record because Guinness wasn't notified, updated PEGI rating guidance for paid random-item mechanics and blockchain-related content, and a SAG-AFTRA move against Capcom over union protections tied to Mega Man voice work.  The episode also includes a smart Women's History Month spotlight on Hedy Lamarr, with Dave explaining how her work on frequency-hopping communication connects to the foundations of Wi-Fi and wireless communication. It's a great reminder that tech history is full of people whose contributions weren't fully recognized in their own time.  Rounding things out, the crew talks about seeing LEGO smart blocks at Disney Springs, a Switch 2 update that boosts original Switch games in handheld mode, and Payphone Go, a California-only game that turned public payphones into a live scavenger hunt. It's a very AwesomeCast mix: theme parks, gadgets, gaming, weird internet projects, and a little tech history all in one place.

Everyone thinks retirement is a permanent vacation. For the first few months, it might feel that way. Then something shifts. The novelty fades. Tuesdays start to feel like Saturdays. The structure that once defined your days disappears. And for many retirees, freedom without purpose slowly turns into restlessness.In this episode, James walks through the reality most financial commercials never show. Retirement often moves through predictable phases. The honeymoon. The loss of identity. The trial and error. And, if you are intentional, reinvention. None of those phases are solved by a bigger portfolio alone.The deeper issue is not money. It is meaning. Planning for lifespan is not the same as planning for health span. The years when you have energy, mobility, and people around you who can share those experiences are limited. If all the fun is back loaded for “someday,” someday may look very different than you imagined.James outlines the traps many retirees fall into. Having no structure. Comparing their lives to others. Saving aggressively but struggling to actually spend and live. The solution is not a rigid schedule. It is clarity about what you are retiring to. Weekly rhythms. Relationships. Health. Challenge. Adventure.A financial plan supports that vision. It does not replace it. When your cash flow, investments, and tax strategy are aligned with a life you actually want to live, retirement stops being an escape from work and becomes a chapter you are prepared to enjoy.Retirement is not about leaving something behind. It is about building something meaningful in its place.--Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.

First Grizzly Bear of 2026 Spotted in Yellowstone National Park On March 9, Yellowstone biologists working in the northern part of the park reported seeing the first grizzly bear of the spring season. The bear was observed in the backcountry scavenging on a bull bison carcass. The first reported grizzly bear sighting of 2025 occurred on March 14. In 2024, it occurred on March 3, and in 2022 and 2023, March 7. When bears emerge from hibernation, they look for food and often feed on elk and bison that died over the winter. Bears may react aggressively to encounters with people when feeding on carcasses. Male grizzlies come out of hibernation in early March. Females with cubs emerge in April and early May. All of Yellowstone is grizzly and black bear country: from the deepest backcountry to the boardwalks and parking lots around Old Faithful. Protect yourself and bears by following our safety guidelines: Prepare for a bear encounter by carrying bear spray, knowing how to use it and making sure it's accessible. Stay alert. Hike or ski in groups of three or more, stay on maintained trails and make noise. Avoid hiking at dusk, dawn or at night. Do not run if you encounter a bear. Stay 100 yards (91 m) away from black and grizzly bears. Approaching bears within 100 yards is prohibited. Use binoculars, a telescope or telephoto lens to get a closer look. Store food, garbage, barbecue grills and other attractants in hard-sided vehicles or bear-proof food storage boxes. Report bear sightings and encounters to a park ranger immediately.

Officials with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department say Curtis Lee Daniels entered a Largemouth Bass in a tournament at Lake Fork that was later found to contain three three-quarter-ounce fishing weights inside its stomach. According to an affidavit obtained by KLTV, investigators also reported finding the same type of weights in Daniels' boat. The fishing tournament offered an overall prize of 11-thousand, five-hundred dollars. Daniels was arrested Sunday and booked into the Wood County Jail. He is being held on a 20-thousand-dollar bond on a charge of violating a fishing tournament law, which is considered a third-degree felony in Texas. If convicted, Daniels could face up to ten years in prison and fines of up to ten thousand dollars. Officials say other possible penalties include losing his fishing license and paying civil restitution.

The disqualifications happened during the 2026 Camel Beauty Show Festival in Oman. Veterinary inspectors found evidence that some camels had been given cosmetic injections and other enhancements. According to reports from Vice Media and Forbes, the procedures included hyaluronic acid injections in the lips, dermal fillers, silicone around the nose, Botox to soften facial features, and silicone wax used to inflate the animals' humps. Those treatments violate competition rules, which require that camels be judged only on their natural physical traits. Camel beauty contests are popular across the Gulf region, where prized animals compete for prestige and sometimes large prize money. Judges typically evaluate features like the camel's  coat, neck, head, and hump—traits meant to reflect selective breeding rather than cosmetic enhancement. Organizers, including the Camel Club and the Oman Camel Racing Federation, say they're committed to preventing manipulation in the competitions and plan to enforce strict penalties for breeders who break the rules. The incident has also renewed debate about how far some competitors are willing to go in pursuit of victory—especially when a camel looks, as officials put it, “too good to be true.” Reference: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2026/03/06/camels-disqualified-beauty-pageant-cosmetic-injections-oman/89023631007/ OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Legalább lesz kivel együtt felfedezni a szigetet." - javasolta Emese, és Gergely beleegyezett egy határozatlan biccentéssel.En: "Since things turned out this way, what would you say to sharing the place? At least we'll have someone to explore the island with," suggested Emese, and Gergely agreed with an uncertain nod.Hu: Teltek a napok, s a sziget szépsége betöltötte őket.En: Days passed, and the beauty of the island filled them.Hu: Együtt jártak a szűk utcákon, kóstolták a helyi feta salátát, és hallgatták a tenger meséit.En: They walked the narrow streets together, tasted the local feta salad, and listened to the tales of the sea.Hu: Lassan megnyíltak egymás előtt, elengedve régi hitüket, hogy nem lehet más utat találni.En: Slowly, they opened up to each other, letting go of their old belief that no other path could be found.Hu: Egy este, amikor a nap már aranyszínűre festette az eget, Emese vezetésével a sziklás parton sétáltak.En: One evening, when the sun had already painted the sky golden, they walked along the rocky shore with Emese leading.Hu: A nyugodt, kék Aegei tenger ragyogó tükrében tükröződött a nap utolsó mosolya.En: In the calm, blue Aegei Sea's radiant mirror, the sun's last smile was reflected.Hu: A látvány feledhetetlen volt.En: The sight was unforgettable.Hu: Abban a pillanatban, elfelejtették minden kételyüket.En: In that moment, they forgot all their doubts.Hu: Gergely ránézett Emesére, és meglátta az igazi kalandvágyót, aki megtanította értékelni minden kis rezdülést.En: Gergely looked at Emese and saw the true adventurer who taught him to appreciate every little nuance.Hu: Emese pedig felfedezte Gergely csendes bátorságát, mely megnyugtatta a rohanó világban.En: Emese discovered Gergely's quiet bravery, which calmed her in the rushing world.Hu: Ahogy visszatértek az apartmanba, már nem volt kérdés, mi következik.En: As they returned to the apartment, there was no question about what came next.Hu: "Mit szólnál, ha együtt folytatnánk az utazást?" - javasolta Gergely.En: "What would you say to continuing the journey together?" proposed Gergely.Hu: Emese beleegyezően mosolygott, hisz a világ sok titkot rejtett még, és nem utolsó sorban, egy új barátot talált Gergely személyében.En: Emese smiled in agreement, as the world still held many secrets, and most importantly, she had found a new friend in Gergely.Hu: Együtt tapasztalták meg: az élet legszebb kalandjai gyakran a legváratlanabb pillanatokban kezdődnek.En: They experienced together that life's most beautiful adventures often begin in the most unexpected moments.

It finally happened. After years of aerial photographs, land speculation, and breathless anticipation, Mike and EB walk through the gates of Universal Epic Universe — and it does not disappoint.   Well, mostly. Stardust Racers is still closed, Yoshi's Adventure is aggressively just a Yoshi that meanders, and someone on Twitter says the whole thing might need to be torn down. But other than that? Top five park day. Tom from Louisville said so himself, and Tom from Louisville has been to a lot of parks.   Mike and EB go portal by portal through the whole thing — 1920s Paris at Ministry of Magic (280-minute wait; they waited 20. We said what we said.), Le Cirque Arcanus with the magic tent that's bigger on the inside, Bowser's Challenge being better than advertised, Donkey Kong Country being exactly as fun as a cartoon mine cart should be, Hiccup's Wing Gliders being a surprise contender for ride of the trip, and Monsters Unchained delivering actual honest-to-God jump scares in a theme park.   They also discovered that the Burning Blade Tavern serves drinks in a beaker with what may or may not be microplastics in it. It was delicious.   Plus: Seven Six Flags parks are sold for $342 million — less than the cost of a highway overpass. Disney's parks get a new worldwide president, and they hope he lives long enough to be a hero. Muppet Vision 3D is going to VR, a decision that exactly zero people are satisfied with. And Barracuda Strike opens at SeaWorld San Antonio — the family invert where the artwork shows the track going underwater, but the track does not go underwater.

Hear from global storyteller Christopher O'Shaughnessy about the power of storytelling to build connection, shape identity, and help people navigate life across cultures. From the role of humor in bringing people together to the deeper work of putting words to our internal experiences, Chris shares practical insights into how stories create bridges between people.  Learn more about Chris O'Shaughnessy "Whether you're intentionally saying it or whether people are unintentionally hearing it, there's always some story in context." "The more of your story you can refine, the more you're opening up points of connection, the more you're allowing the possibility of conduits to grow between you and the people hearing your story." "Just because you do it this way does not mean everybody does it this way." "Using humor well, using humor as long as it's meant to be inclusive, as long as it's the kind of humor that can bring other people alone, it's really useful." "Storytelling is actually being able to read the mood of the responses and dynamically respond." "That's essentially what storytelling is: It's learning to put words so that we can create an external version of what's happening internally." "Half the pain of loneliness is feeling disconnected, but I would wager probably half of it is also the fear that this is just how it will always be."

Motorcycles aren't meant to back up. If they were, they'd all come with reverse.

In this episode of RIDER SKILLS, we have Clinton Smout walking us through a number of turnaround methods. Some you might expect, while others may raise your eyebrows—but all of them can be useful tools in your rider skills toolbox.

This week the Cultra Crew AFB and Anna G. talk with Josh Sprague — founder of Orange Mud — about building gear, starting businesses, and adventure racing. Josh grew up on a Kansas farm selling rubber band guns and raising 4-H pigs before working at Walmart and Goodyear. In 2012 he started Orange Mud after getting frustrated with hydration packs that didn't work for runners. By 2014 he quit corporate life and went all in. We also talk adventure racing, the multi-sport sufferfest of running, biking, paddling, and navigating with map and compass plus gear design, heat management, and why Josh only creates products when they're actually better. Josh also runs 7 Clay and Anvil and Acre, all while keeping Orange Mud independently owned. Adventure, entrepreneurship, gear nerdery, and the usual Cultra nonsense.

I like to get my toes into a little bit of everything.”Jessica Loudermilk didn't grow up loving running. A former softball player and rugby athlete, she found running later in life and started with a goal of completing half marathons in different states. That curiosity eventually led her from road racing into the world of trail and ultra running.She quickly dove into ultras, taking on the Umstead 100 early in her trail journey and pushing through a tough final stretch to finish her first 100 miler. More recently, Jessica raced the Black Canyon 100K, where she adjusted her fueling mid-race and rallied late to hit her 15-hour goal finish.Outside of racing, Jessica works as a physical therapist helping patients regain mobility and spends time crewing and pacing friends at races like Southern States and Cocodona.
