Description

Steps:

  1. Open the site on a device with a small screen (observed on an iPhone SE)
  2. Go to the Pedalpalooza 2019 calendar page

Result:
Long newsflash message causes the page to horizontally scroll (see Foster Night Ride on Jun 4, 2019).

Notes:
This one is a little fussy — I've only seen it on Safari so far, and it seems like a quirk of how Safari applies the overflow-wrap property.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on the Pedalpalooza 2019 calendar page using a small viewport, especially the Foster Night Ride newsflash, and compare Safari behavior with other browsers. Locate the newsflash styling and verify that the page no longer scrolls horizontally on small screens while the full message remains usable.
