That time, all the way back in 2022, when @patagonia made a movie about climate that
1⃣ celebrated flying (including in private jets, just for the sake of reaching remote sports areas),
2⃣ was shown on @Delta airlines, and
3⃣ limited climate action to voting.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. A 🧵.

An event put on against the odds, during the COVID pandemic, the GBDuro pushed riders to their limits and @gcntweet has documented the race with 53 minutes of ‘I can’t stop watching this footage’. Up on the blog page now>! masoncycles.cc/blog/GBDuro #MasonCycles
Very pleased to be announcing the inaugural edition of the Bikes, Bees & Trees Rally! #BBTRally23
Basically a long weekend of tree planting and biodiversity conservation at two sites in Scotland, with a pretty long cycle in the middle.

A special self-sufficient edition of GBDURO... film out now
A group of ultra-endurance cyclists push themselves to the limit in the 2020 GB Duro. This brutal bike race provides a rare opportunity for the participants to detach themselves from the outside world and dig deep into their inner selves.
Watch on GCN+ 👉 gcn.eu/GBDURO

I have been wrestling with the matter of the Dartmoor National Park ruling in my head for a few days...⛺️
I see no quick fixes to these problems, and that is exactly what those in power hate to hear. Here is my take on the matter 👉 rossrunswild.com/2023/01/16/…👇

With net-zero pledges with no Scope 3 emissions, 100% Renewable Energy plans that are unbundled and/or not time matched, and carbon offsets of dubious quality, we may be headed for a world where every company is "carbon neutral" and yet underlying emissions haven't changed much.

A nice feature from @StuartKenny in @muchbetterAdven about #GBDURO21 and 'Maiden Race' - and the way the documentary has been produced. Free to read here: muchbetteradventures.com/mag… #gravel #bikepacking
