Bella Wright was a shy, working-class woman whose life was cut short on a summer night in 1919, just short of her 22nd birthday. At first, her death looked like a tragic accident – until a single bullet found lodged in the dirt road changed everything. What followed was a century-long mystery involving an unshaven man on a distinctive green bicycle, a suspiciously dismantled frame dredged from a river, and a murder trial that gripped the nation. With early forensics, conflicting testimony and possible testimony that came too late, this is a case that refuses to rest.

“Orogenesis” is the geologic process of mountain building — a gradual evolution powered by unfathomable forces that expand across and transform broad swaths of the landscape.Orogenesis is also set to be the longest mountain biking trail in the United Sates. At 3,500 miles, this new route stretches through Washington, Oregon, California, and then it connects to the existing Baja Divide bikepacking route to add another 1,600 miles to San Jose del Cabo at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. The creation of such a trail is an absolutely monumental vision, and endurance cyclist Kurt Refsnider will be guinea pigging his way down the full length of it for the remainder of this year as the first person to attempt the ride in its entirety.In this episode, we talk to Kurt Refsnider about the history of the trail, what drew him to it, and what to expect along the way. We'll then be checking in with him over the next few months as he makes his way from the US/Canadian border to Mexico.

Hi there! Feel free to drop us a text if you enjoy the episode.In this episode of the New England Endurance podcast, hosts Art Trapotsis and Eric Schenker sit down with Lisa McCoy, event director of the iconic Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb (MWARBH). Known affectionately as “The Rockpile,” this race challenges cyclists with 7.6 miles of relentless climbing, an average grade of 12%, and the ever-unpredictable weather of Mount Washington.Lisa shares her story—from her role as co-owner of the International Mountain Climbing School to managing one of the toughest uphill races in the world. The discussion dives into the race's evolution, the mission of the Tin Mountain Conservation Center, and the enduring spirit of the New England endurance community.Whether you're a veteran of the climb or considering your first ascent, Lisa offers behind-the-scenes insights, preparation tips, and why so many riders keep coming back year after year.Key Takeaways:The course is brutally steep, with no flat sections and a punishing 22% grade at the summit.Lisa McCoy has been directing the event since 2017 and is deeply involved in the outdoor community.The Auto Road was fully unpaved until the 1970s; it's now fully paved, but just as tough.Riders must be self-supported—no aid stations and no e-bikes allowed during the race.All proceeds benefit the Tin Mountain Conservation Center, a key player in local environmental education.The finish line reward? Bragging rights, breathtaking views, and a coveted MWARBH finisher's blanket.The event consistently draws 500–600 riders, showcasing the grit and camaraderie of New England's endurance athletes.Art & Eric embark on a journey to showcase and celebrate the endurance sports community in New England.

where he could feel at home.Nl: Bram was een paar maanden geleden naar Amsterdam verhuisd.En: Bram had moved to Amsterdam a few months ago.Nl: Hij miste zijn oude vrienden en plekken.En: He missed his old friends and places.Nl: In de hoop zijn schroom te overwinnen en mensen te ontmoeten, besloot hij zich aan te melden als vrijwilliger voor het gemeenschappelijk tuinproject.En: In hopes of overcoming his shyness and meeting people, he decided to sign up as a volunteer for the community garden project.Nl: Het was een uitdaging voor hem, maar de liefde voor planten won het van zijn verlegenheid.En: It was a challenge for him, but his love for plants prevailed over his timidity.Nl: De tuin was een kleurrijke oase vol bloemen en groenten.En: The garden was a colorful oasis full of flowers and vegetables.Nl: De sfeer was altijd bedrijvig, dankzij Eva.En: The atmosphere was always busy, thanks to Eva.Nl: Ze was de ziel van het project, altijd enthousiast, en vulde de ruimte met haar aanstekelijke energie.En: She was the soul of the project, always enthusiastic, and filled the space with her contagious energy.Nl: Voor Bram was Eva een mysterie.En: To Bram, Eva was a mystery.Nl: Al snel merkte Bram dat zijn goede daden en zijn groene vingers niet ongemerkt bleven.En: Soon, Bram noticed that his good deeds and green thumbs did not go unnoticed.Nl: Tijdens een van de zomerse middagen, toen de lucht plotseling betrok en de regen onverwachts begon te vallen, zochten Bram en Eva snel beschutting in het schuurtje van de tuin.En: During one of the summer afternoons, when the sky suddenly darkened and the rain began to fall unexpectedly, Bram and Eva quickly sought shelter in the garden shed.Nl: De regen tikte zacht tegen het dak en vermengde zich met hun ademhaling terwijl ze elkaar voor het eerst echt in de ogen keken.En: The rain softly tapped against the roof and mingled with their breathing as they looked into each other's eyes for the first time.Nl: "Je hebt prachtige planten," zei Eva, terwijl ze haar natte haar uit haar gezicht streek.En: "You have beautiful plants," said Eva, as she brushed her wet hair out of her face.Nl: Bram bloosde lichtjes, niet gewend aan het compliment.En: Bram blushed slightly, not accustomed to compliments.Nl: "Dank je," antwoordde hij zacht.En: "Thank you," he replied softly.Nl: "Jij inspireert me om nog meer te leren," vervolgde hij, en voelde zich tot zijn eigen verrassing op zijn gemak.En: "You inspire me to learn even more," he continued, feeling surprisingly at ease.Nl: Ze begonnen te praten, eerst aarzelend, maar al snel verdiepten ze zich in een gesprek over hun gedeelde passie voor de natuur.En: They began to talk, first hesitantly, but soon they delved into a conversation about their shared passion for nature.Nl: Bram ontdekte dat Eva wist van zijn favoriete plantensoort, en ze deelden verhalen over hun jeugd in de tuin van hun gezinnen.En: Bram discovered that Eva knew about his favorite plant species, and they shared stories about their childhood in their families' gardens.Nl: De storm buiten leek hun eigen wirwar van gedachten en gevoelens te weerspiegelen, maar binnen het schuurtje heerste er rust.En: The storm outside seemed to reflect their own tangle of thoughts and feelings, but inside the shed, there was calm.Nl: De regen hield op, en de zon brak weer door.En: The rain stopped, and the sun broke through again.Nl: Bram voelde een nieuw soort warmte die niets te maken had met het weer.En: Bram felt a new kind of warmth that had nothing to do with the weather.Nl: Hij had niet alleen een nieuw stukje van de stad ontdekt, maar ook iemand met wie hij zijn wereld kon delen.En: He had not only discovered a new part of the city, but also someone with whom he could share his world.Nl: "Zullen we volgende week samen aan die kruidentuin werken?"En: "Shall we work on that herb garden together next week?"Nl: vroeg Eva opgewekt.En: Eva asked cheerfully.Nl: Bram knikte met een glimlach, zich meer verbonden voelend dan ooit tevoren.En: Bram nodded with a smile, feeling more connected than ever before.Nl: "Ja, dat lijkt me geweldig,"
