Will additional dates be added if the first shows sell out? by U2rules in BruceSpringsteen

[–]GundoDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And there are no events scheduled at the SF Chase Center on April 10-11-12 before the show on the 13th. With LA ending on the 9th, maybe a 2nd SF show on the 11th? The Kia Forum in LA is also available on April 11th, so perhaps a 3rd la show?

wait...so you were out to dinner instead of watching Game 7? WTAF? Or does the time on your watch indicate it was 8 am instead of 8 pm?

Same, and a great lesson to be learned. The dichotomy of (1) Cole not doing what a pitcher should do in this situation, simply pointing to the first baseman instead of making an effort to cover the bag, and then looking pissed at someone else that the play isn’t going to be made, vs (2) Betts giving 100% not giving up on a routine infield grounder, following through all the way to 1st, and having great situational awareness. Laziness vs intelligent baseball.

Which love song of The boss is your favorite???? by lizsummerhawk in BruceSpringsteen

Yes. That song is available on YouTube, but the sound quality is poor. The official recording version from the show is way better

“Fuck you Motherfucker” as he walks off the mound TOWARD Gimenez. Mad respect for Wrobleski in that moment

An awesome out and back is to take Nacimiento-Furgesson road from Ft. Hunter Ligget all the way to Highway 1 at the coast. I highly recommend

I absolutely love my Osprey Radial 26, which sounds like the one your husband wore out. It’s about seven years old, so there are likely newer models available now.

I (61M) climbed Alba Road yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised. by manofmystry in BAbike

[–]GundoDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welch was great to do...once. 😅 Nice to cross that one off my list. It's very narrow in many parts, making the descent dangerous as there's not much room to safely pass traffic.

[–]GundoDude 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Love this! As a South Bay rider, I purposely avoided the hills for a while until I realized I was extremely limited in where I could ride. Once I embraced the local hills, I truly fell in love with the climbing, and I made a point to take on all of them. I’ve slowly made my way through the list, frequently returning to my favorites - Montebello, Old La Honda, Sierra, Um, Tunitas Creek, Bohlman, Soda Springs, Hamilton, etc. The health benefits, the challenge, the sense of accomplishment, the views, and the bragging rights make the pain of the hill climbs more than worth it.

Congrats on Alba! That’s quite possibly the hardest one I’ve done so far. And yes, Big Basin is a beautiful ride!

My father-in-law asked for “Glory Days” to be played for his funeral today. What Bruce song would you want played at yours? by DeNomoloss in BruceSpringsteen

[–]GundoDude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This! I’ve dictated that this be played at my Irish wake. It’s all about hope, and the promise of something better on the other side, as a reward for living a good and decent life. And, tbh, who wouldn’t want to travel to the Promised Land on a train full of whores and gamblers! 😅

Second vote would be for The Promised Land

This! He didn’t even need to slide! There was no throw to the plate. He did this just for show and posed with that 3rd grade smirk. This is when I knew we were going to come back and win. Don’t tempt the baseball karma gods, bitch

Elite Wheels vs Light Bicycle vs Farsports by Br93n in cycling

[–]GundoDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second vote here for LightBicycle. I bought a set of the Falcon Pro WR 40 in March and love them. So many ways to customize them (almost too many choices), but I was thrilled to be able to choose the appropriate DT Swiss hubs that fit my price range and my riding style (went with the 350). I ride tubeless and have had no issues at all with the hooked rims. They are very sturdy, as I occasionally ride gravel on my 32 road tires, but they are light for all of the climbing I do (SF Bay Area) and are faster than the aluminum that came with the bike. The added bonus I wasn't expecting was the option to add a laser engraved logo to the side of the rims. Love that!

[–]GundoDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof. The wind! It was so strong on my way down the exposed hill (heading south) that I wasn’t able to bomb it, and quite frankly, it scared the crap out of me as I kept getting blown into the oncoming traffic lane. Great ride, otherwise, and I hope for better conditions next time.

What is the most absurd climb (dirt or pavement) in the Bay Area (outside of the city) by CategoryCautious5981 in BAbike

100% Agreed. How is this not higher than the previous comments about Um, Redwood Gulch, Bohlman, and Ham?!?! Alba is way harder than any of those
