DEA agent accused in crash that killed Salem cyclist won’t face prosecution, despite several tries

Appealing the long-running case to the U.S. Supreme Court could “make it harder – not easier – to hold people accountable in future cases,” the Marion County DA’s office said.

Bit of a blah day, cold & grey, so back to the winter gear for this afternoon’s 54km ride.

The sun made a desultory appearance for about five minutes near sunset 🌞🙄

And no wee beasties photographed on the garden – not a good day for them either 🤷‍♂️

Ruska 2025 E32: Where the Road Finally Ends

YouTube
Back when my Veloheld Iron was set up as a dropbar MTB, I somehow only really felt comfortable in the drops. On the hoods, the bike always felt a bit too long to me, even with a very short stem.
So I decided to switch to a different handlebar. I was torn between a classic MTB bar and one with extreme backsweep, and in the end I went for what is probably the most comfortable option of all.
Technically, it’s more of a trekking handlebar — but if we’re honest, the bike itself is also more of a trekking / gravel / XC hybrid, however you want to define it.
Either way, I took the opportunity to add two skulls to the brake and shift cable housings right away.
It really is an evil bike.

The thing about the first warm weekend days of spring is that *everyone* & their dog is out enjoying them 🌞👍

Which conversely makes cycling a little more fraught, as all the fair weather folks drag out their bikes & clog the paths up 😬

Including loads of new roadies all in Lycra – where were you lot during the winter, eh? 🤨

Warmduschers 🚿🤪

55km ride for me today, btw.

First #sportive of the year today: Velo29’s York Leeds York. I did the medium route with a friend.
It's a nice route, mostly quiet (there were a couple of km of quite busy roads, not bad out of 109!)
Mostly overcast and a bit chilly, but dry.
That's March's #strava #GranFondo challenge in the bag!

Starting the day up there at the Oberalppass was magic. The early morning light was strong, and the first sun rays over the peaks projected powerful shades everywhere. The way down to Andermatt, on the other side of the pass, was even more impressive than from the clogged train the previous day. I arrived at the starting point of the Gotthard Pass, where the road diverges between it and the Furkapass. I had climbed both some years ago, and closing that track felt a bit like unlocking the region. Then I cycled back on my steps, continuing the descent towards the impressive canyon of Schöllenen, where different bridges jump over each other in a surreal atmosphere. Not far down the road, the will to enjoy more of this amazing landscape took me back to climb. The dam of Göscheneralp as a goal was worth it: glaciers on a sunny day over the lake, mountains everywhere, what else? After impressive pictures and rest, it was finally time to go all the way down to Altdorf first, and later Flüelen. The former allowed for a fast meet-up with the William Tell legend, the second for a well-earned swim in the Lake of Four Cantons, looking magnificent on a beautiful sunny day. After all, it was time to take the train back to the Gotthard line and cross the Alps again, back to Lago Maggiore, reminding me that a day starting in a tent followed by cycling seems so complete that it feels like a full week. Cycling is slow in so many good ways after all.
