Evan Wick seems destined for the Hall of Very Good - bounces around at various weight classes, but can never get past whoever the final boss of that division is (Dake in 2020, Marsteller in 2024, Levi in 2025, Carr in 2026).

Has anyone else notable tried and failed to make a World Team over the course of several years?

It is ridiculous that there is no direct/near-direct route from Amherst/Williamsville to downtown for anyone riding a bike. It would seem like a great opportunity to build out something that would be well utilized. Its a pretty populated area, its flat as a pancake, etc etc.

Nothing in the green!

To ride in from Snyder to work I need to meander through various paths and off major roads to get it. A 7 mile direct route is 10.5 miles by the end of the circuitous route. I respect GOBike and all that, but we need some results.

• Was expecting shipment from big-box retailer yesterday.
• Got a "Incorrect address - Street number" notification on my tracking updates around 12PM. Been here 20 years and have never had this happen.
• FedEx calls soon after to verify my address - call rep barely speaks English and tries to rush me off the phone, but I ask her if she could put a note with a description of my building for the driver - she reluctantly jots down what I tell her and hangs up on me.
• Last night the tracking changes to "Shipment exception Cannot locate recipient" - which I'm assuming means the driver either tried and failed again to deliver that night, or the call rep didn't confirm my info.
• Notification says it'll be delivered today, but a big red box says "additional delivery information is needed from the recipient" and it never went out for delivery

It's only like $20 worth of stuff that was sent from the other side of my town a couple days ago. Meanwhile, the other part of my order from the same retailer was sent UPS and arrived without an issue.

Driver incompetence? Call rep incompetence? Who do I blame here?
