A another new year, together with a new Grand Tour. All we need now is a new blog.

My 2026 Riding Adventures - Planning & Decisions

As always, please feel free to skim, read, comment or just ignore as you feel appropriate.

Any Joe-schmo can edit Wikipedia. Just sayin. I have submitted two locations to Roadside America that I collected on two of my near-freezing temp GT rides.

In your case, your submissions are being screened/accepted by an independent 3rd party, which to my mind, makes them A-OK.
If a close friend/acquaintance, Joe Schmoe, was to edit Wikipedia, it probable would not pass the Ozzie "pub test".
I suppose I could make a submission to Atlas Obscura, but I have no idea how quickly they review/accept/update their website. If I was chasing a podium place, then I would give it a go, but all I am doing is chasing a tee-shirt so I will skip it.
