Mr Info

I am willing to admit that I am an old guy but still working at being able to maintain a 3 minute mile on a varied course bike route. I am close at about 3:15/mile for 10 miles. I try to do about 10-15 miles/day but work and other stuff can interfere.

Long time season ticket holder (4 tix: 2 clubs & 2 lower bowls) from VA. We average about 6 games/yr. Usually try to fly as I have plenty of FF miles from work. I have family in WNY as well and use the game trips for visit time with the family.

If your travel permits, my suggestion is to go to Gabriel’s Gate but get there when it opens so you & your son can get a seat at the bar. Great wings and other local specialties. A unique place as well.

The 85th birthday celebration for Jorma Kaukonen will be held at Carnegie Hall on Nov 29. He is still playing amazing well and special guests will be joining him. I picked up a couple of tix for this but he will be playing at Kleinhan’s & other spots around the country before then. https://www.carnegiehall.org/Calendar/2025/11/29/Jorma-Kaukonens-85th-Birthday-Celebration-plus-Special-Guests-0800PM

Ciarlo being signed to the PS this week will make that episode focus on him & his family worth it.

Recommend “The Yogurt Shop Murders” documentary on HBO. It’s 4 episodes. Grisly murders that are still unsolved. Inept investigation and protocol that have haunted the victims and accused families and destroyed the accused lives.

I do not want to interact with vehicle salespeople any longer. Direct to consumer sales is available from newer companies such as Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid. You pick which options you want and pay for it. I did this with a Telsa Y when it first came out about 6-7 yrs ago and sold it 2 yrs later for more than I bought it. I have a deposit on the new Rivian 2. The Y was the most fun car I ever had. Drove all over the east coast with no charging issues. But I digress. I went to a local Tesla dealer to test drive a couple models. Then ordered the vehicle on line and it was delivered to the dealer. No more sales people.

Good there are no drink sips for McD clapping or Bosa/Bishop/Spector working off to the side with trainers.

There are still 7 stages left including the Alps.

I have to be honest that I chose an ebike before hitting Ventoux. It was difficult even with an ebike. I might still be pedaling with a regular road bike. One item I recall is how dry it seems going up that mountain and you have to continually drink a lot of water even though you may not be sweating much. I helped treat a couple of riders that collapsed when they reached the peak lookout. They were dehydrated. i have more respect for the condition the riders are in.

Yep, with it every day! Always enjoy the TdF as it also provides good ideas where to visit on the next EU trip. I hope Jonas is just keeping pace for now and will try to catch Tadej in the mountains. Thet will make the tour more interesting. We rode for a week on the Tour last year and also did Mont Ventoux. Had to compete partial stages before the actual riders started. These people provide a very nice experience if that interests anyone but it is $. https://www.thomsonbiketours.com/tdf-advance-reservation/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10982741409&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kFGSEU1dljUqabNygoEG9a5FoU&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-NfDBhDyARIsAD-ILeCDh_8Gkg0AA0wjAPB6Vboi7r_i_d_faCZCTc8yYc1VyB6fNvbILewaAkPbEALw_wcB

I just reviewed my PSL Contract and nothing regarding the resale of tix. There is language about the resale of PSLs. i spoke with the reps at my PSL sale event and specifically asked about ticket resale and they said no restrictions.

It appears his ( @eball) point is not the volume of posts but the perspective and gist of your posts in this thread.
