Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Look at those 76 ondeck circle ads. Those sneaky guys and their backwards gaspumps.

I didn't think 76 still exists. Fitting that a has-been company advertises at baseball stadiums.

Plenty to chose from over there. I like how they use Bing maps. How cute.

Kudos.

I've been mostly riding my e-bike in blue jeans and still was only 5 seconds behind my PR on the club TT.

It's right there between 75 and 77. What would make you believe?

I am corrected. I almost always get my gas at Weigels, or Sam's.

When I was a ute, 76 was the only advertising allowed anywhere on the property. The 2 76 logos above the outfield message boards were the only ads in the stadium and there was a 76 gas station in the parking lot.

I first went there in 1963 when the Angels played their home games there.

Probably a handful of trips >200 miles in the last 20 years. I suspect that's more the rule than the exception, even here in California.
I’m considering an EV for our second vehicle. We regularly drive 200+ miles to our other house, so we’d have to keep at least one gas vehicle.

Yes. Still on EDT. Waking up at 3AM is a drag.

BTW Dodgers won the game 2-1.
