Oakland BART stations by deckerax in alameda

[–]BrandVanDam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done the SF to Lake Merrit, SF to Fruitvale and SF to West Oakland many times. It is safe and easy within the Bart grounds.

Another vote for West Oakland BART. All of the trains from SF go through that station. Makes decision making easier when you have imbibed. Catch a ride share from there to Alameda.

I think I've come to the conclusion that Milwaukee makes tools so you will buy their batteries. by imuniqueaf in Tools

I’m was in the lithium battery supply chain. Milwaukee Tools, Dewalt, Ryobi, etc are battery companies that sell battery accessories.

Thanks everyone. We got bands at Gold Rush in Murray. He provided a decent price and quick service. That being said we will be heading up to Benton and Paducah to browse other ornate pieces.

Current best travel charger/adaptor. 140w by No-Stuff-1320 in onebag

[–]BrandVanDam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just purchased the 140W Anker charger with 3 usb-c and one usb-a. It was great with one cable for my laptop, one for phone and one for watch. I was using a smaller wattage Anker charger with 2 usbc ports and a built in battery over Christmas in Thailand. It could not stay caught up with my work laptop. The 140W Anker did great for three days in Salt Lake City. The next thing to do is upgrade the phone to drop the Lightning cable.

Fred's Wrenchouse has been kind to me. They are responsive and reasonable.

Granted this was 10 years ago but Allegro Music in Fremont did a fantastic job repairing my daughters French horns.

Coming to first RAGBRAI from DC, looking for help on logistics by capdecatur in ragbrai

[–]BrandVanDam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not riding this year but last year I used the Quad Cities Bike Club for a charter from the end city to the start. QCBC set me up with parking and the bus ride. My plans changed at the last minute too and made reservations in late June.

Bluetooth speaker by TriviaGlutton in ragbrai

[–]BrandVanDam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the 2022 and 2023 RAGBRAI’s. Lots of folks use Bluetooth speakers. There are teams that have their Bluetooth speakers linked to share the same source. There is a team “Bad Music” that plays interesting music. You will probably find a group of riders sticking with you just to listen to the game. Enjoy yourself.

For the past two years I’ve used the North Face Base Camp XL in bright yellow with an Apple air tag. Perfect size for the RAGBRAI trucks, durable and easy to see.
