The Pedalshift Project 266: LIVE 2022 Tour Reveal + AMA

As we wind down 2021, we went LIVE BABY LIVE once again with your questions all about bike touring (and a few that weren’t) plus I revealed most of my first tour of 2022. At least I know kind of where I’m going, like, regionally… and stuff? This was originally streamed December 10, 2021 before an audience of sophisticated and tasteful people.

(PS where do I get this? INXS of course. And yes, I know it’s not what they pronounced, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ) 

First Tour of 2022

First tour of 2022 is… central FL! But what route?
Still hashing out options!
Original plan was fly to Tampa and take the same route to Central FL as past years
New plan (maybe?) – drive down in the LACROSSE! with the dogs and Kimberly, celebrate our anniversary first and then do some kind of two day ride
West to east?
Same route or take some of the trails that run much further north of my classic route?
WORK IN PROGRESS
 
Bike? Very likely the Brompton no matter what
I anticipate needing a fast forward in a Lyft or Uber on the Orlando side because I’m likely doing a day or so at WDW and as I’ve mentioned before, the Mouse is not digging on the bikes. Too bad.
 
Lodging?
TBD. I currently have a hotel in Lakeland set up (did Airbnb last time… was nice, but COVID makes me want hotels this go around)
If I change to the trail route, I may consider camping IF we do the drive.
 
Weather? Gear?
January is usually pretty nice… can be cool, can be warm. It’s a bit of a crap shoot, but I can assure you it’s better than DC or WV
Will prepare for rain and if I’m doing any camping, will be using my modified Brompton touring setup unless the conditions seem dodgy, inc which case we’ll do the tried and true Path Less Pedaled style backback trick (but again, only if we drive)
 
Am I ever going to do a tour that isn’t one I’ve done before?
I’ll answer that with a question… when is this pandemic going to ease the eff back?
 
Sidebar… this is all pandemic-willing. As we sit here on 12/10/21 Omicron variant seems like it might be a thing, so we’ll see. I am boosted, so I feel pretty confident, but if the variant and the vax doesn’t mesh, I may rejigger elements of this.
 
I’m very excited for this ride.
 

AMA

Just some of the questions asked…

Are you going to do a tour outside of the US in 2022?
 
Is the Green Goblin unretired?
 
Whatever happened to bikepacking – are you still considering that?
 
I want to do my first bike tour, but I’m scared of going by myself. What’s your tips?
 
What’s the best way to avoid chaffing on tour?

If you wanna watch instead

Lobbying capacity grants

Well, this was a journey!

A couple of years ago when I returned to Bolder Advocacy, I remembered a little bit of tax law magic to preserve a 501(c)(3)’s unused lobbying capacity by granting it to a 501(c)(4). Surely someone had written that up as a fact sheet or something in my absence, right? Nope! So I set out drafting up something to make this easy for folks.

Well, the wheels sometimes turn a bit slowly on such things, but a couple years later here we are! Maximizing Your Advocacy: Eight Steps For Granting Unused Lobbying Capacity From a 501(c)(3) to an Affiliated 501(c)(4) is a guide on how to do it all. It’s complete with a simple guide, plus some supporting docs (sample agreement, sample board resolution and even a handy worksheet to run the numbers).

The short version… 501(c)(3)s often end their year with unused lobbying capacity that disappears when the ball drops in Time’s Square (yes, well, actually… person that IS only if it’s a calendar year org) and some money in the bank. Meanwhile, their affiliated (c)(4) sits there with less money in the bank and the capability to take that lobbying capacity and do some great work with it. A simple grant from the (c)(3) to the (c)(4) — along with a few required limiting clauses, because… tax law — and the (c)(3) maximizes its lobbying expenditures before the end of the year and the (c)(4) can use that anytime down the line for lobbying work. Rarely do you grab win-win’s (the Stefon Diggs trade for you Bills fans) but this one of them.

2021 Nonprofit Advocacy Successes

On this episode, we’ll take time to reflect on what was a very exciting year for nonprofit advocates. Across the United States, nonprofits organized, formed coalitions, and mobilized communities to advance the goals of equity, justice, and equal rights for all. This episode will highlight some of their success stories and set a celebratory stage for the new year to come.  

Our Attorneys for this Episode  

Natalie Ossenfort   Quyen Tu   Tim Mooney   

Show Notes 

  • CALIFORNIA 
    • In 2021, nonprofit members of California’s Health4All Coalition successfully shepherded in the passage of “Health for All Seniors.”   
    • In September, a nonprofit coalition and several community activists convinced the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to begin the process of phasing out oil drilling in unincorporated L.A. County.  
    • AFJ/BA helped NPs pass a bill to prevent police from blocking journalists covering protests and demonstrations. 
  • TEXAS 
    • Nonprofits across the state joined forces to successfully advocate for legislation that expands postpartum Medicaid coverage to six months (instead of two). The organizations plan to continue the fight in 2022 expand the law even further. 
  • NEW YORK 
    • Advocates at the New York Transgender Advocacy Group and their coalition partners scored a big win by convincing lawmakers to repeal a law that prohibited loitering for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. 
    • Just a few days ago, the New York City Council approved a massive expansion of voting rights, which will allow non-citizen residents to vote in municipal elections.  
  • OTHER ADVOCACY SUCCESSES 
    • In June, nonprofit advocates in Vermont celebrated when the Governor signed into law a bill that expands voting rights by requiring that all registered voters in the state receive mail-in ballots. That same month saw a similar win in Nevada.  
    • The Women’s Foundation of Colorado threw its support behind several successful bills.  
    • Record number of federal judges have been confirmed,rebalancing the judiciary to more properly reflect the diversity of our country.

The Pedalshift Project 265: 2021 Clean-Up Tour – Part 1

I’ve ridden an ok amount this year, but to be honest, as the year was winding down I realized there were two spots I always hit that I haven’t been to yet this year. So I need to play a little clean up and get wheels down on these two gems! In part 1, I tackle the big hill on the Cumberland side of the Great Allegheny Passage!

Show Notes

What is the difference between a nonprofit and a 501(c)(3)?

Where on my 990 do I look to see if I have selected the 501(h) election for measuring my lobbying?  And if I file today, is it effective next year, or this year?

Can a board member of a non-profit sign on to a partisan statement or call to action and list their affiliation with the non-profit if it is noted that affiliations are for “identification purposes only”?

Where on my 990 do I look to see if I have selected the 501(h) election for measuring my lobbying?  And if I file today, is it effective next year, or this year?

We have a 501(c)(3), and our board is considering forming an affiliated 501(c)(4). Can we use c3 dollars to hire initial c4 staff or to pay for start-up overhead?

Are there any issues with establishing a bail fund specifically to bail out protesters? 

Specifically, the IRS states that activities such as strikes, economic boycotts, picketing, and mass demonstrations are permissible methods of furthering the educational and charitable purpose of a 501(c)(3) organization, as long as three conditions are satisfied:

  1. the organization’s purpose is charitable;
  2. the organization’s activities are neither illegal, contrary to public policy, nor in conflict with express statutory restrictions or limitations; and
  3. the activities of the organization are in furtherance of its exempt purpose and reasonably related to the accomplishment of such purpose.

The Pedalshift Project 263: Guide to Cycling the C&O Towpath – Part 2

I’ve taken listeners on a bunch of rides on the C&O, but I’ve never really done the full guide to cycling it. In the second of two parts, we go section by section from DC to Cumberland. It’s an audio guide to cycling the C&O Canal towpath whether you’re a first timer of a full on expert.

Guide to Cycling the C&O Towpath – Part 2

A few things to add based on feedback:
 
  • I didn’t mention the parallel paved options available. Most notable is the Western MD Rail Trail which effectively goes from 11 miles downstream from Hancock to Little Orleans with a few on and off options (one forced) to the C&O. It’s a common alternate for folks through-riding.
  • One option that is less accessible for the moment is the Washington & Old Dominion Trail on the VA side of the river from Arlington to Purcellville. The upstream access is extremely limited since the closure of the cable ferry at White’s Ferry. I hear there are shuttles from hotels and other providers that are bringing cyclists back and forth, so a hotel stay might be an efficient way to do over 30 miles of paved trail in lieu of the C&O (but you miss a lot and the W&OD is far less scenic).
