A member of the Save ACA Committee tells me that both its email address and website have been taken down  to save money.  The board now requests that all inquiries be sent to it at: governance@adventurecycling.org.

Meanwhile, the mediation sessions continue.  More news is expected within the next two weeks.

I similarly tried emailing the info@saveacahq.org address that DW recommended, and also received a problem-delivery message.

The email address is: info@saveacahq.org.

The saveacahq.org website seems to be only spottily available. My email to info@saveacahq.org from several days ago has yet to be delivered; gmail tells me "There was a temporary problem delivering your message to info@saveacahq.org. Gmail will retry for 45 more hours. You'll be notified if the delivery fails permanently."

Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Great River Trail bridge closure Northern Tier Section 7 maps 86 and 87

« Last post by ggwbikemt on April 11, 2026, 05:46:53 pm »

The Great River State Trail remains closed until 2028 between Trempealeau and Lytle Road near Midway, WI due to a fire that destroyed the Tank Creek Bridge in May 2025 southeast of Trempealeau on the trail. The detour route is from Trempealeau go east on WI 35, which has 5 foot paved shoulders with 3 narrow bridges. When you reach County XX, turn right and go south and southeast on County XX to County OT. Go straight on County OT to County ZN in Midway. Go straight on County ZN and turn left at the Great River State Trail. In the opposite direction, it would be right on County ZN, straight on County OT, straight on County XX when County OT curves to the right, left on WI 35 to Trempealeau. The bridge needs total replacement and is over 2 miles from the nearest road crossing on the Great River State Trail. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources expects the bridge to replaced in 2028.

Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / Western Express, Section 1, (Map 4?), April 2026 Yolo Causeway Bike Path

« Last post by robartsd on April 11, 2026, 11:50:20 am »

I'm a local, not a tourist in the area and I don't have a copy of this map set, but I was reading a 2019 journal of a tourist on this route and remembered recently reading on https://www.reddit.com/r/SacBike/ that the Yolo Causeway Bike Path will be closed from 4/13/2026 through 4/24/2026. It's a bit early in the season, so perhaps it will be open again before any bike tourists would be using the route. Alternate route to bike would require detouring through Woodland (adds about 13 miles, mostly flat). Could also take Capitol Corridor train between Davis and Sacramento (~$6)

I do not find what little has taken place since January very encouraging.
There was a window of attention and focus that may have been lost.
Or, some people may have wished for everything simply to blow over.

Are you on the email list of the Save ACA Committee?  When there's news to announce a committee member will do so by email.  As I've recently learned, there are now 24 candidates for the BOD, with interviews under way.  One candidate, a former BOD member, is a member of Save ACA.  The current board members all term out in December 2026.

Gear Talk / SAILRITE catalog

« Last post by zerodish on April 06, 2026, 01:46:48 pm »

I picked up the 2020 in a thrift store. I wanted to get some ideas on sewing bags. None of the fabric is high tech just ordinary fabric with or without UV or mildew protection. I am interested is structural sewing. Sails aircraft wings trampolines. That is they are strong but not pretty. If you want to learn to sew a sail it is not going to be under sailing or sewing and the library won't have it anyway. It is a good catalog with plenty of practical information and they do love their jargon. There is some tubing. What I found most interesting is eyelet ends. If you break a rack eyelet you could cut it off and add an eyelet end in stainless. They won't have the right size but some one is surely selling them.  There is also online instructional videos.
