Interesting article from Outside about one of the first off-road cycling clubs: https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/bik ing/rough-stuff-fellowshi p-off-road-cycling-club/


Unlike today, when shouty Ironman tattoos and 26.2 stickers proliferate the landscape and social media feeds are filled with earnest pronouncements of the deep life lessons acquired on weekend rides or half marathons, the RSF was just out there, going where few people had gone before, simply because it was a labor, and, more important, because it was fun. “Doing hard things without making much of a fuss about it,” as Leonard says. “It’s probably a quite British way of looking at things.”

It really resonates with a lot of things we talk about here, especially the "intentional community" aspect.
